"Got, Not Got: The Lost World of Leicester City is an Aladdin's cave of memories and memorabilia, guaranteed to whisk you back to Filbert Street's fondly remembered 'Golden Age' of mud and magic - as well as a City-mad childhood of miniature tabletop games and imaginary, comic-fuelled worlds. The book recalls a more innocent era of football, lingering longingly over relics from the good old days - Foxes stickers and petrol freebies, leag ..."
"Even by the unreal standards of Gilbert and Sullivan, Iolanthe is a fanciful piece of work, in which Fairyland meets the House of Lords. Needless to say, the lords--a superbly dimwitted bunch--don't triumph. The title character was once banished from the fairy kingdom, and now she returns as the marriage of her son, Strephon, is imperiled by Parliament. Mixing satire with ethereal fantasy (though the fairies are earthly enough to have a ..."
"A favorite of many Gilbert & Sullivan aficionados, Patience is not for every taste. This satire of pretentious poets and their swooning followers, mocking the 1880s cult of aestheticism, touches a nerve in any celebrity-obsessed age.

"In a world gone mad with languid ladies and affected gentlemen, the lovesick maidens of Castle Bunthorne forsake their handsome soldier suitors to pursue poet, aesthete... and fake... Reginald Bunthorne (Gilbert's spoof of Oscar Wilde). But Reginald loves the village milkmaid Patience, who doesn't like poetry or understand love. When she finally discovers what it means, it is Reginald's rival that she decides to marry. While all around ..."
