This book is the first national study of the football pools in Britain which examines the politics and culture of the gambling on the football pools. It charts the rise of the football pools, focusing upon its rapid growth from the 1920s and its prolonged decline in British culture from the 1990s, partly as a result of the National Lottery. The book explores how this new gambling activity became a significant leisure opportunity for the working class - a way to feel that the individual skill of the punter could lead to the winning of some life-changing jackpot cheque being presented by a sporting personality of celebrity. Dominated by Littlewoods, and other large commercial companies, the weekly filling-in of the coupons was considered to be a safe form of investment, guaranteed by the integrity of the pool companies, rather than some seedy gambling operation. The Football Pools and the British Working Class looks at different elements of the football pools from what attracted people to this form of gambling to how the industry developed and adjusted to the suspension of the football fixtures in 1936, and the bad winter of 1962-3. Above all, it examines the deep hostility that surrounded the filling in of the football pools arising from the National Anti-Gambling League, religious groups, the football authorities and MPs. This book will appeal to all those interested in the history of British football and 20th century British working class culture.

William Shakespeare, A Very Peculiar History' uniquely explores the life and works of the widely-regarded greatest writer of the English language. Through dispelling common myths (Could his father really not read or write? What really happened during 'the Lost Years'? Why did he retire from writing while only in his early 40s?) and revealing fascinating trivia, this book attempts to answer many of the often-disputed questions surrounding the life of Britain's favourite playwright. Find out about Shakespeare's family and childhood, and, with much reference to his works, discover why his writing has endured the test of time and remains endlessly adaptable. 'Exit, pursued by a bear'.

From out of nowhere there comes a sweeping onslaught of murder. A game of cat and mouse begins as DCI Henry Faulkner and DS Billy Cray are assigned to the case, leading the investigation into capturing this horrific serial killer. The murders begin, so grotesque in nature, mutilations that leave all involved stunned and riddled with fear. Tension mounts, as with each murder, no concrete evidence can be recovered. The pressure begins to cause ripples within the team. Faulkners boisterous and arrogant persona clashing with the demons of Crays troubled past leave the core of this investigation, at times, in tatters! Who is this serial killer? How can they elude and stay invisible for so long; like a ghost? Does this case have more of a story to tell than meets the eye? Is there a hidden secret, a detail that has gone unnoticed? Victim, upon victim.
