To Catch A King Charles Spencer William Collins £20 The year is 1651 and the future Charles II, still a boy of 21, is on the run. At the recent Battle of Worcester his raggle-taggle Royalist followers have been butchered by Oliver Cromwell and the welldrilled Parliamentarian army. Now England's status as a republic is secure and Cromwell himself is well on the way to becoming Lord Protector. Charles Stuart, to give him his legal name, needs to scarper to the Continent if he is to have any hope of avoiding the fate of his father, King Charles I, executed just two years earlier.

Influenza Jeremy Brown Text Publishing £12.99 In 1918, just as the world was beginning to feel hopeful that the most devastating war of all time might be coming to a close, an even bigger disaster began to unfold. 'Spanish flu' - which historians now believe actually originated in either Kansas or China - raged across the globe, leaving up to 100million dead in its wheezing, sneezing wake. Within a few months, far more men, women and children lost their lives as a result of a virus than they did from enemy action. [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER]

Stitches In Time: The Story Of The Clothes We Wear Lucy Adlington Random House £16.99 ????? When Clark Gable undressed for bed in the 1934 rom-com It Happened One Night, it was immediately apparent that - cue shocked gasps - he wasn't wearing a vest. From that moment, sales of men's under-shirts collapsed on both sides of the Atlantic. If Hollywood's biggest hero didn't bother with underwear, then why should anyone else? Lucy Adlington's popular history of clothes is full of such telling anecdotes, ones in which economics, celebrity culture and fabric are all tangled up, like a pair of old tights.

George, the onetime legendary footballer and now alcoholic lost soul, had stumbled home and forgotten that his son was temporarily sharing his double bed.

Amazons John Man Bantam Press £20 [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER]

Amazons John Man Bantam Press €17.27 At first glance, Wonder Woman might seem to be your standard-issue comic-book superhero - she's brave, has biceps to die for and generally kicks baddie ass. But, as John Man reveals in this lively book, she has real ancestral sisters. Thousands of years ago, groups of female warriors roamed the grasslands of central Asia, fighting to keep their communities safe. They were called Amazons - a name that's been hijacked to describe any woman who is brave, bolshy and refuses to know her place. [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER]
