Its all about history . . .
Alan Sutton at Manorbier Cas
tle
When I was six years old our family summer holiday was taken
at Saundersfoot in Wales. On one of the days at Saundersfoot my
parents took my sister and I on a rickety old bus round the lanes
past Tenby to Manorbier Castle. To my amazement I discovered
that the picture book tales about castles with portcullises and
drawbridges was true and not just make-believe, and my lifelong love of history was kindled. From this initial love of history
I went on to publish history. After quite a lengthy and eventful
publishing career I am pleased to introduce the Fonthill imprint.
In this, our first catalogue, we present the majority of the new
titles for 2016 plus our stock list.
Fonthill and History
Alan Sutton at Saundersfoot
According to Noah Webster the prime dictionary definition of history is: the branch of knowledge dealing with past events. Past events is quite a wide church with many, many pews to furnish it. At Fonthill
we sit in numerous of these pews, but some of the pews are quite distant from others, so at one end we
have ancient history with Neolithic Horizons, and right down the long nave of this wide church we have
a biography with Agnetha FltskogThe Girl With The Golden Hair.
Metaphors apart, we have already built strengths in transport history, especially aviation. We are also
building military history and have a growing list dealing with the dark days of Hitlers Third Reich. Areas
that we wish to develop include ancient and medieval history and archaeology. Our interests are quite
wide and we welcome new authors in all categories of history and biography.
Fonthills Geographical Coverage

We publish worldwide in one English Language edition. We have a growing number of international
authors, especially American authors. We particularly welcome titles with a strong American angle.
Fonthill Rights
For more than 95 per cent of the titles we publish we have exclusive world rights. We buy in very few
titles other than foreign language titles for translation. We will only accept books if we have worldwide
English language rights.
For most of our titles we have foreign language rights available. For all rights enquiries please email
office@fonthillmedia.com.

This is our very first Fonthill catalogue and I thank all in our team for getting our new imprint off to a

For historians William Shakespeare is both a curse and a blessing: a curse

because he immortalized Tudor spin on fifteenth-century civil wars that
helped justify their occupation of the throne; a blessing because without
Shakespeares 8-play history cycle, hardly anyone beyond specialists in
the history of the period would know of their existence.

and strong laboured woman, became a formidable political force in her
own right. The dynastic struggle that became known as the Wars of the
Roses brought the usurpation of Edward IV, the humiliation and exile of
Margaret, and the murder of Henry in the Tower of London.

Il-2 Shturmovik became the aerial

Soviet response to the invasion
on the Eastern Front during
WWII. Designed as a low-level
close-support aircraft capable
of defeating enemy armour and
ground targets, it was engineered
to take an enormous amount of
punishment and still keep the pilot
& gunner unharmed. By 1945 some
36,000 Il-2s had been produced.
This explores the development

of the jet fighter from the
first-generation Meteor and
Vampire which entered service
with the RAF and Fleet Air Arm.
Each type is examined, looking
at how the design was created
and how this translated into an
operational aircraft. Other types
explored are the Hunter, Lightning,
Phantom, Javelin and Tornado F2/3.

much-respected as a guitarist in
his native Birmingham, Jeff Lynne
rose through the ranks of various
semi-professional local groups
to become the frontman of the
critically acclaimed Idle Race in
the late 60s. From there he joined
the ever-popular Move, then
helped form the ground-breaking
Electric Light Orchestra.

The Autobiography of a Cad is

the hilarious memoir of an
arch-rotter, chronicling the life of
one (happily fictitious) Edward
Fox-Ingleby. A. G. Macdonell had
great fun in writing this book,
undoubtedly his funniest. It is
written as a tongue-in-cheek
autobiography of a man who
ploughs his way through life
shafting everyone around him.

Classic 1920s crime thriller. A

fascinating crime story with
unusual twists, murder follows
murder with no seeming motive.
In the classic genre of 20s and
30s crime fiction, Macdonell
manages to introduce a different
element, unusual twists that keep
the reader captivated and anxious
to discover what came next.

Macdonell uses his usual skill,

well-dosed with ingenious
twists, and a fast moving
story-line, to keep the reader
riveted to the book. Chase,
conspiracy, espionage,
quick-thinking initiative and
much adventure with Irishmen
and Russians thrown in, keeps
the adventure in a high gear
from beginning to end.

A. G. Macdonells England, Their

England is an affectionately
satirical inter-war comic novel first
published in 1933. It hit the right
spot at the time and became a
bestseller, and has endured as a
classic of humour, transcending
the passage of time. It is
particularly famed for its portrayal
of a village cricket match.

A masterpiece of character
depiction. An expose of the
Mayfair Mussolini fans and war
profiteers One of A. G. Macdonells
most biting booksa perceptive
look at the rise of Nazism and
its inevitable outcome. A novel,
but with such prescience it could
have been fact; illustrating the
fondness for the right wing fascist
movements among monied set.

Flight from a Lady is probably

Macdonells most enigmatic work.
It is fictional, but hardly reads like
a novel. The plot is the story of a
very wealthy young man escaping
from the clutches of a womana
woman so determined that the
man goes to great lengths to
cover his tracks and avoid being
trapped by her, the she-wolf.

The treasure was to be found in

an English country house, and it
was worth one million pounds,
but what was the treasure, was it
jewels or something else? Various
parties were searching; American
gangsters among them, and all
had to unravel the clues to be
found in the works of Shakespeare.
Murder followed murder as the
ruthless search continued.
