He has spurned the autobiography in favour of the essay as the Orwellian literary form in which to record these and other significant happenings in his life. Jolyon Nuttall is anything but a mediocre talent.

'Brilliant interweaving of personal experience, imaginative musing and political clarity' Kate Mosse Virginia Woolf exposes the prejudices and constraints against which women writers struggled for centuries, and argues for a more equal literary establishment. This volume combines two books which were among the greatest contributions to feminist literature this century. Together they form a brilliant attack on sexual inequality. A Room of One's Own, first published in 1929, is a witty, urbane and persuasive argument against the intellectual subjection of women, particularly women writers. The sequel, Three Guineas, is a passionate polemic which draws a startling comparison between the tyrannous hypocrisy of the Victorian patriarchal system and the evils of fascism. WITH AN INTRODUCTION BY HERMIONE LEE

Vintage Communication Toys captures the excitement of these new technologies. The art deco and futuristic designs from the ’30s through the ’70s convey the wonder and optimism of the ever-evolving communication world.
