David Severn [b. 3/12/1918 - d. 11/2/2010] is a pseudonym for David Storr Unwin,British son of Sir Stanley Unwin the publisher.So as not to trade on the Unwin name he used the name Severn (his uncle Severn Storr went with Sir Stanley on a world tour (Unwin and Storr,1934).All in all,Severn wote thirty children's books, most for John Lane,The Bodley Head,and mainly school holiday adventures on a farm,or camping or travelling.Although written during WW2,the war isn't mentioned in the stories until after the war ends. The stories offered countryside peace at a time of war and danger,providing positive learning from adventures,including Romanies and a hermit artist,at a time of bombs, bullets,hunger and rationing in a countryside littered with the paraphenalia of war-time defence; tank traps,barbed wire and pill boxes.His first series [1942-6] featured 'Crusoe' Robinson who was befriended by youngsters in holiday adventures, many featuring a Romany group and included a Romany funeral pyre.The Warner family series followed [1947-52] featuring pheasants,ponies and country life. This title is his 4th children's novel of five of the 'Crusoe' stories.In the previous book the group join up with Cooper's circus run by a relative of Patch.They experience circus life and foil a plot to steal the takings of the circus by the strong man.He is apprehended in a frantic lorry chase.Another family is introduced in that book,the Crosbies,who live on a houseboat and whose father is an artist.These feature in this title.An adventure that in real time follows immediately on from 'WAGGON for FIVE'.Mr Crosbie is a nationally famous artist who makes a living selling his paintings, living precariously in bohemian style with his three children in a houseboat. Motherless and looked after by elder sister Jean,they had a large old-fashioned tourer,an old and unreliable car.Leonard Crosbie was nationally famous in his own field,living by creative artistic endeavour,empowering his children to grow up to be free and independent. 'Hermit in the Hills' is an inspired exploration of the philosophy of art.Both series complimented with artwork from Joan Kiddell-Monroe. Joan Kiddell-Monroe (1908-72) born Clacton-on-Sea.Studied at Willesden and Chelsea Schools of Art.Worked initially in an advertising studio and then turned freelance.In 1936,she married Webster Murray,illustrator for 'The Tatler' and 'The Sketch' and portrait painter.From 1944,she concentrated on book illustration.She travelled in Africa during the 1950's,and eventually settled in Mallorca.Joan Kiddell-Monroe was one of the outstanding professional illustrators of her generation,and her drawings combined a fluent,well-modulated line with a rhythmic and elegant decorative sense.She had a keen eye for detail,and this contributed to her ability to adapt her style in sympathy with the varied sources and subjects of her texts.Her versatility is clearly shown in the 'Oxford Myths and Legends' series - folk tales collected from many parts of the world.She was particularly fond of drawing animals,and often included them in her designs.She worked mainly in black and white,sometimes with one added colour,and sometimes with the full colour range.

"British-born Charlie Chaplin was not only the world's first international movie star but one of the most loved, hated, and gossiped-about figures in film history. In her colorful and absorbing biography of the mercurial Chaplin, Joyce Milton takes us from his childhood in the London slums and his early days as a music hall entertainer through his meteoric rise and the full flowering of his artistic genius in the American film world to his exile in Europe during the 1950s, the heyday of McCarthyism and Red-baiting. The Keystone comedies era and Chaplin's emergence as a star and director make a fascinating story, peopled by the likes of Mack Sennett, Fatty Arbuckle, Mabel Normand, Wallace Beery, and Edna Purviance. His founding of United Artists in 1919, with Mary Pickford and Douglas Fairbanks, was seminal, giving him a control over his own films that no other writer, actor, or director could hope for under the studio system at the time. Hollywood in the twenties and thirties makes today's film community seem puritanical by comparison, and Chaplin was a key figure in many of the gamier scandals. Successful, handsome, and a mega-star, he developed a reputation as a seducer of very young women - his second wife, Lita Grey, was fifteen when they became involved, and he married Oona O'Neill, his fourth, when she was eighteen. Fighting a paternity suit and accusations of plagiarism, communism, pacifism, libertinism, and anti-Americanism, Chaplin nevertheless managed to make seventy-one films by the time he was thirty-three years old - with some of his finest work still ahead of him (The Gold Rush, City Lights, Modern Times, and The Great Dictator). To date only sanitized versions of Chaplin's life have been told, and no biography has yet placed Chaplin in an American context. A strong, determined artist - at once charming and vulnerable but also vain, arrogant, and egotistical - Chaplin fought hard to overcome early hardships, and suffered greatly when the character he created - the Tramp, the Little Fellow - was rendered obsolete by age, changing audience tastes, and the advent of talkies. Joyce Milton's probing and revelatory biography explores the psychological and social roots of Chaplin's art, politics, love life, and friendships through the course of a tumultuous life, at once rich and confounding." - Publisher.. 1st.
