An audiobook of the Parapress title Thirty-Odd Feet Below Belgium has recently been created.

Was William Shakspere, a successful businessman and minor actor from Stratford-upon-Avon, the WILLIAM SHAKESPEARE, one of the greatest writers of all time, or was it a case of identity theft?

A. J. Pointon's enthralling book restores William Shakspere's real identity (even the name is spelt differently) through a reconstruction of his family and lifestyle.

The orthodox consensus about the order and dates of Shakespeare’s plays contains surprising discrepancies. In this authoritative book, the evidence is reviewed methodically to produce a range of dates for each of the 36 plays in the First Folio and four other plays sometimes attributed to Shakespeare. This is supported by in-depth analysis of aids to dating such as language, historical allusion, the testimony of title pages and works by other authors including Palladis Tamia and the Stationers’ Register.

In considering Oxfordian dates, the intention is not to prove that the Earl of Oxford wrote the plays but to demonstrate the possibility of a range of earlier dates than those previously considered.

Angela Mitchell is not a vet, a dog-breeder or a show judge. She is just an ordinary person who always wanted to own a Great Dane. She learned about training, handling and caring for Great Danes with her first dog, Hovis. And just when she thought she knew it all, she opted for a second Dane puppy, Bob the ‘boston’, and realised at once she had another vast learning curve ahead of her.

A frank and witty tale of life with two large dogs in a smallish three-bed semi. This new release from Parapress will delight dog owners everywhere.

The author addresses the continuing need for an introduction to Christianity which pays attention to intellectual content without becoming too technical. This book is of interest to the general reader who wants a 'refresher course' appealing to the head as well as the heart, and also to those preparing for church membership or confirmation.
