B. T. Batsford Ltd, London, first edition, 1949. Cloth, 8vo, 23 cm,. viii, 216 pp, ills. From the blurb: "Every game has its season and every season has its games. In this book Leslie Daiken, who has often broadcast on the subject of Children's Games, has compiled a Zodiac of Play: that is, he has arranged the old amusements, each with its peculiar traditional quality, atmosphere, essence and melody, as nearly as possible according to the calendar month with which each is most generally associated. Mr. Daiken approaches his subject from more than one point of view. In the first place he has written a straightforward narrative, and here his book has something of the breathless fascination of Norman Douglas's classic London Street Games. But Mr. Daiken is also an authonty on folk-lore and anthropology and so is able to reveal the primitive and psychological bases for the age-old games which children still play. And finally, Mr. Daiken is a poet in whose writing the timeless poetry of… Read More

Thames and Hudson, New York, edition, 1992. Cloth, 8vo, 25 cm. 192 pp, ills. For nearly thirty years, until his death in 1986, the well-known scholar, writer and broadcaster Glyn Daniel was editor of Antiquity, the influential review of archaeology. Under his guidance, it became a journal with a difference. In each issue the editor would air eloquently his decided views on matters not just archaeological -finds, hypotheses, personalities - but of interest or amusement to all: the pleasures of the French countryside, the follies of government policy, the five golden rules that a lecturer should observe. Here is a collection of the very best of these entertaining, often passionately written essays. Glyn Daniel's range was wide, his tastes eclectic; but he came back again and again to favourite themes - travel, national attitudes, Stonehenge, the return of the Elgin marbles, smuggling, forgery. Forgery especially fascinated him: 'I suppose', he wrote once, 'that it is my interest in… Read More

Cambridge University Press, Cambridge, 1996 reprint of 1989 first edition. Laminated illustrated wrappers, 8vo,. xiv, 297 pp. From the preface - "This book, as its title suggests, is intended to provide friendly and helpful company for any student of Milton. .What follows.. is not a series of homogeneous encyclopaedia articles but eighteen original essays by eighteen different human beings who care about Milton, who would (and do) disagree with each other about innumerable issues, and who seek in an informative, responsible, often argumentative way to say something important about a subject they love. Unfortunately, this book does not include discussion of all of Milton's works, nor does it exemplify every major critical approach; such are the limitations of a single volume. But each contributor has been asked to try to do in a modest way what Milton himself so consistently does: by means of a particular style, angle of vision, or argument to encourage critical thought, further study, and a… Read More
