Out of the chaos of war emerges a new and inspired people. As their power grows so does their legend. Before long the welfare of the old peoples of this land rests with this new and innovative culture. As the Vikings push for total dominance of Britannia only the English from the city of Worchester stand in their way. One young man must lead the fight in this fictional tale of Angles, Vikings, Picts and Celts.

Britain's vast losses of men in the first world war produced a revulsion against conscription. Originally published in 1972, Peter Dennis here describes how conscription was introduced once more in 1939, when pressure from within Britain and from France forced the British Government to reverse its position.

This book is the sequel to Peter Hunt's memoir about his childhood entitled Child of a Bygone Era. Born in Brighton in 1940, it was at the end of the war that his father, a chartered accountant, was sent to develop his company's office in Hong Kong. There Peter lived with his parents and flourished until, at the age of seven, he was sent back to two boarding schools (preparatory and public) in post-war England.

This book is written with charm and humour by a child who grew up between two worlds - an idyllic childhood in Hong Kong in the 1950s which was shattered by his return to England at the age of seven to a new life as a boarder at a Catholic preparatory school. From the age of seven to seventeen, he travels between these worlds and comments on all the changes that occur in this dynamic decade. He sees Hong Kong develop from an entrepot to a booming manufacturing powerhouse with the effect this has on the Cantonese and their relationship with Europeans and compares this life to the smog-bound, tired English way of life only just beginning to recover from the devastation of the Second World War. It is a joy to read and is a fascinating record of two worlds by a child of a bygone age.
