THE LIVES & LOVES OF THE DELAMERES, by R.M.BEVAN

Was there ever a Cheshire family to compare with the
Delameres of Vale Royal?
Five barons and nine wives, many of them immersed in scandal
and controversy, from the first Lady Delamere’s dalliances with
Lord Byron to the most notorious of them all,
the “White Queen of Africa” who may have pulled off
the perfect murder, "White Mischief", the mystery that continues to baffle the world.
And what of Jock Delves Broughton, Cheshire's Great Gatsby, who
lived high and wide, frittered away a fortune and missed the gallows by the skin of his teeth.
At the heart of it all was Vale Royal Abbey and the 3rd Baron Delamere,
an eccentric Englishman who almost single-handedly founded an African nation.

THE I.C.I. AFFAIR, by R.M.BEVAN

An incredible true story of wealth, power, big business, murder and cover-up
set against the backdrop of 1926 when Britain teetered on the verge of anarchy.
What was the secret Roscoe Brunner and his authoress wife took to their graves?
What had murder to do with the founding of Imperial Chemical Industries and a former
government minister, Sir Alfred Mond, who is now revered in a far-off land?
And why in 1926 did the powers-that-be lock away the murder files for one hundred years?
You'll be intrigued.

AND HER SONS
Their epic journey from

BOOK £10.95

(For overseas please

(Jill E.King )
At the core of this extraordinary story are three brothers, two of them only in their early teens when, in 1849, they leave the rural simplicity of Mid Cheshire, cross the Atlantic and play an important role in founding a thriving American city. This was the era of pioneers who travelled unbelievable distances, struggling with appalling conditions, to become settlers in a strange and often hostile land. Their resilience, ingenuity and grim determination has to be admired. However, within is not all hazards and toil. The trio joined the Latter-Day Saints movement under the leadership of the legendary Brigham Young and his adherence to polygamy leads to many humorous happenings. Once read, this tale will never be forgotten and the 150 black and white and colour illustrations, with many very early, evocative photographs, only serve to enhance the narrative.
