<p>For more than a decade, Morrissey has conducted a love affair with his public which has been virtually impossible to define. Britain's most articulate singer-songwriter remains a complex individual whose lyrics opt for realism, opinion, waspish wit, irony, asexuality and love.</p>

Morrissey: Landscapes of the Mind

Robson Books Ltd.

There is renewed interest in Richard Iii since the discovery of his remains when it was revealed he was not the hunchbacked monster of Tudor myth but a tall, handsome man who suffered from scoliosis of the spine. If the Tudor propagandists perpetrated this myth,what else was made up? Richard remains the most controversial monarch in British history. Edward Iv's sudden death plunged England into chaos. As protector of his young sons, they were placed in the Tower and never seen again, setting in motion a mystery which has never been solved. Did Richard kill his nephews, or were they dispatched by the Duke of Buckingham, or by Henry Tudor and mother, Margaret Beaufort? What was the nature of the relationship between Richard and Buckingham? Was he just too trusting of this conniving man, caught out when at his weakest-mourning a brother he had adored? The fact that he has thousands of devoted supporters over 500 years after his death points to the fact that Richard Iii was more than a king. He was a legend.

In this revised edition of the work which topped the best-sellers in 1999 David Bret draws on exclusive interviews with those who knew him., incorporating a wealth of previously unobtainable source material to tell the real story of a troubled genius whose every move was directed by his domineering wife, Beryl~a fearsome entrepreneur without whose Svengali presence Formby would have never made the big time. In this sincere biography, Bret discloses the secret love affairs of both George and Beryl, their stance against apartheid which saw them ejected from South Africa, the collapse of their marriage, and the squabble over their fortune by rapacious relatives. Bret also examines the Formbys' courage and dedication to charity work, particularly during World War Ii. With a detailed analysis of Formby's films, stage plays and recording work, this controversial biography reveals the complex, frequently difficult man who was and remains one of Britain's most popular entertainers.

Since David Bret published his best-selling Rock Hudson biography in 2004, two key figures in Rock's story-his wife Phyllis Gates and his last lover, Marc Christian-have died, allowing a great deal to be told which could not be told whilst they were alive. In this much-revised biography, Bret discusses every aspect of Rock's life: parental abuse, discovering his sexuality while in the Us Navy, his scores of male lovers, his prostitution to agents and talent scouts, the hidden truth behind his lavender marriage, his battle to conceal his sexuality from the media, his involvement with San Francisco's gay scene, and the tragedy of his final years as the first major celebrity to contract Aids. Published to commemorate the 30th anniversary of the actor's death, in Rock Hudson: The Gentle Giant, David Bret has produced a rewarding portrait of a warm-hearted, wonderful man who, though atrociously maligned by the media back in 1985 when he died, remains revered by his millions of fans around the world.
