An
Officer & A Gentleman
and his
Mum
by Liz Brocklehurst
Save £2.50
At 5’ 4” tall and a
working class Yorkshire ‘oik’, he is hardly the sort you’d
expect to qualify for Royal Military Academy Sandhurst. But
that’s exactly what he did, fulfilling his childhood
ambition of training to be a British Army officer.
If you think royal
family members and people of the Establishment have it easy
at Sandhurst, you’ll think again after reading this
fascinating, true story!
Rupert’s mum, Liz
Brocklehurst, tells an evocative, dramatic and very
entertaining account of her son & his fellow cadets’
sentence at the world’s most famous military academy and
its notoriously gruelling training & studying regime.
An
Officer & A Gentleman and his
Mum

YORKSHIRE IN A CROMBIE
by
Craig Bradley
‘fast moving, vibrant and funny’
-
Gervase Phinn
Craig Bradley is a man in
a big coat looking for answers.
When his Uncle Jim died, Craig Bradley inherited a coat. It was a big, no-nonsense Crombie and it smelt of the past. The coat asked
questions. What is Yorkshire? Is there such a thing as
Yorkshireness? Do Yorkshire folk have their own character?
When a coat like the Crombie asks you a question, you’d
better come up with an answer, and that’s what this book
does. From football to music, from food to drink, from
Leeds to York, from Sheffield to Sigglesthorne, this is one
man’s journey though his home county. Yorkshire in a
Crombie is a new way of looking at an old place.
Yorkshire has found its
own Bill Bryson.
