Potterism is about the Potter newspaper empire, and the ways in which journalists struggled to balance the truth and what would sell, during the First World War and into the 1920s. When Jane and Johnny Potter are at Oxford they learn to despise their father's popular newspapers, though they still end up working for the family business.
From the author of the beloved novel The Towers of Trebizond, a book about Portugal that is part travel-ogue, part history and wholly personal.
Set against the backdrop of a journey through Turkey, the narrative explores the spiritual evolution of a small Anglo-Catholic group traveling by camel.

All Rose Macaulay's anti-war writing, collected together in one fascinating and thought-provoking volume. Her novel Non-Combatants and Others (1916), her journalism for The Spectator, Time & Tide, The Listener and other magazines from the mid-1930s to the end of the Second World War, and her only wartime short story, `Miss Anstruther's Letters'.
Personal Pleasures is an anthology of 80 short essays (some of them very short) about the things she enjoyed most in life. Her subjects include: - Bed (Getting Into It) - Booksellers Catalogues - Christmas Morning - Driving a Car - Flattery - Heresies - Not Going to Parties - Shopping Abroad - Writing While each essay can be read on its own as a short dose of delicious writing, the collection is also an autobiographical selection, revealing glimpses of Rose's own life, and making us laugh helplessly with her inimitable humour.
