Poldark’s Cornwall

Winston Graham’s saga of Cornish life in the 18th century has become something of a modern classic. Here, the author takes the reader on a photographic tour of the Cornwall that formed the background and inspiration to the Poldark novels, a land that has changed little since the 18th century.

The Loving Cup

Cornwall 1813. A silver cup lies half forgotten in a dark cave, amongst a pile of stolen goods. Yet the tiny vessel and its inscription ‘Amor gignit amorem’ haunts the lives of the still feuding Poldark and Warleggan families, as Ross, Demelza and the ambitious and powerful Sir George Warleggan watch their children make the decisions that will shape their destinies. In the closing years of the wars against Napoleon, for Jeremy and Clowance, and for arrogant, cynical Valentine Warleggan, these are troubled and momentous times. ‘From the incomparable Winston Graham…
who has everything that anyone else has, and then a whole lot more’ ‘Guardian’.

The Twisted Sword

Parisian life begins well with an exhilarating round of balls and parties. But the return of Napoleon brings separation, distrust and danger to the Poldarks, and always for Demelza there is the shadow of the secret she does not even share with Ross. ‘From the incomparable Winston Graham…
who has everything that anyone else has, then a whole lot more’ ‘Guardian’.

Bella Poldark

As the Poldark family story draws to a close, it is Bella, precociously talented youngest daughter, who takes center stage. Determined to make her name as a singer, she will move between Nampara, her home on the rugged Cornish coast, and the dazzling world of London and European theater. Bella’s old flame, Christopher Havergal, encourages her, but her ambitions are deeply complicated by the appearance of French conductor Maurice Val ry, who has more in mind than exploring her talent. Here, too, is the continuing story of Clowance, the Poldark s widowed daughter, courted by Philip Prideaux, a mysterious figure who emerges from the Battle of Waterloo. Finally, it is the story of a murderer, lurking in the villages of West Cornwall, who is long, too long, in being discovered. Written with power, humor, and elegance, this is a brilliant finale to Winston Graham s saga.

The Giant’s Chair / Woman in the Mirror

Norah has been in the Syme household a few days before she learns of her close resemblance to her employer’s niece, Marion Syme, who drowned several years ago. Is there something to be afraid of in the half deserted house or something more sinister, in the psyche of someone who lives there?

Marnie

The novel which became the famous Hitchcock film. Marnie seems a charming young woman, but is in fact a thief and a liar. This time she has walked into a trap but the man who has caught her has also trapped himself by falling in love with her. From the author of the Poldark novels and TREMOR.

Angell, Pearl and Little God

Tremor

Agadir, Morocco, February 29, 1960. The earthquake lasted 20 seconds-just long enough to destroy the Hotel Saada and forever change the lives of its guests. This is a novel of love and greed, wickedness and courage, and of one man’s search for himself.

The Spanish Armadas

The story of the Spanish Armada, sent crashing to destruction in stormy seas by English battleships, is one of the most famous and popular of British history. Philip II of Spain’s crusade to conquer Protestant England was the culmination of an undeclared war between the two nations which had simmered for years. The dramatic destruction of the Spanish fleet by Howard, Drake and their men ensured that England kept her political and religious freedom but it was not the end of the story. This history places the Spanish Armada in its true context, as the most spectacular of Spain’s continued attempts to return England to Catholicism, first through friendship, then by marriage and finally through war. It explains that the 1588 battle was only one in a series of Spanish naval campaigns against England it was not until the 17th century that peace was fully assured. Winston Graham, author of the Poldark novels, brings all his gifts as a storyteller to this fascinating work, making the momentous sea battles come to life and telling a tale of human hostility and passions.

Memoirs of a Private Man

The captivating autobiography of Winston Graham, author of the best selling, much beloved Poldark novels.
