Being: "The history of four infatuated adventurers, Morley, Cleon Throckmorton, Conrad Milliken and Harry Wagstaff Gribble, who rediscovered the Old Rialto Theatre in Hoboken, and refurnished it." ... Apropos of the title, one wag noted: "“The wise annotators and critics of Shakespeare, including such eminent names as Voltaire, Ben Johnson, Saint Beuve, Thorold Rogers, Charles Knight, Southey, Sterne and the Times, of London, have attempted to apologize for the immortal William. But the poet was right. Bohemia extended to the Adriatic, and included the ports and harbors and coast for a considerable distance, the boundary being nowhere fixed. It was not only possible but was a constant occurrence for navigators to pass by sea direct from Sicily to the “desert of Bohemia”, between the years 1262 and 1276. Again, Ottokar, and Conrad and Conradin, the last of the Hohenstaufen line, were all personally acquainted and may be said to have been brought up together. The supposed incidents, then, of the Winter’s Tale may be placed with but slight poetic allowance during the period of Conrad’s rule over Sicily. Although the years do not exactly correspond, yet there is no blunder in Shakespeare’s description of a ship touching at the desert of Bohemia during that period.” The sea coast of Bohemia will now, we hope, be admitted to have been a reality.", Doubleday, Doran & Company, 1929, 2.5, New York, New York: Simon and Schuster, 1968.

From the back: Prior histories of the first Spanish mariners to circumnavigate the globe in the sixteenth century have focused on Ferdinand Magellan and the other illustrious leaders of these daring expeditions. Harry Kelsey's masterfully researched study is the first to concentrate on the hitherto anonymous sailors, slaves, adventurers, and soldiers who manned the ships.The author contends that these initial transglobal voyages occurred by chance, beginning with the launch of Magellan's armada in 1519, when the crews dispatched by the king of Spain to claim the Spice Islands in the western Pacific were forced to seek a longer way home, resulting in bitter confrontations with rival Portuguese. Kelsey's enthralling history, based on more than thirty years of research in European and American archives, offers fascinating stories of treachery, greed, murder, desertion, sickness, and starvation but also of courage, dogged persistence, leadership, and loyalty. HARRY KELSEY is a research scholar at the Huntington Library and the author of several acclaimed biographies of sixteenth-century explorers, including Sir Francis Drake: The Queen's Pirate., Yale University Press, 28/06/2016, 3<

The Bert Tann Era began early in 1948, when this former Charlton Athletic reserve, the son of a ship's painter, joined the club as chief coach, and lasted until the summer of 1972, when he died in office as general manager and secretary....Read too of huge crowds clamouring for Cup tickets, the car crash that ended the career of an orange-loving goalkeeper, a bribery scandal that lifted the lid off a betting syndicate, the 'blackleg' in a strike threat, and the epic giant-killing of the coming League champions." 24cms x 16cms.
