The Citizen Survivor's Handbook
Summary
The prepper's guide with a difference. During the 1940s, Britain suffered a national catastrophe that would become known as "The Great Tribulation" by its survivors. The remnant of His Majesty's Government formed a department known as The Ministry of Survivors, the mandate of this office being to help, guide, and inform the public through the anarchy around them. During the early years, they produced and issued a handbook known as The Citizen Survivor's Handbook. However, as the situation became more desperate, the guidance within this book quickly became redundant. The Ministry deemed that the only remaining course of action was to produce a second edition; informing people to evacuate the chaos of the towns and cities and flee to the countryside, focusing on wilderness survival and how to be self-sufficient on the move. This is a surviving copy of that handbook.

Arthur: Shadow of a God
Summary
King Arthur has fascinated the Western world for over a thousand years and yet we still know nothing more about him now than we did then. Layer upon layer of heroics and exploits has been piled upon him to the point where history, legend, and myth have become hopelessly entangled. In recent years, there has been a sort of scholarly consensus that "the once and future king" was clearly some sort of Romano-British warlord, heroically stemming the tide of wave after wave of Saxon invaders after the end of Roman rule. But surprisingly, and no matter how much we enjoy this narrative, there is actually next-to-nothing solid to support this theory except the wishful thinking of understandably bitter contemporaries. The sources and scholarship used to support the "real Arthur" are as much tentative guesswork and pushing "evidence" to the extreme to fit in with this version as anything involving magic swords, wizards, and dragons. Even archaeology refuses to speak out. Arthur is, and always has been, the square peg that refuses to fit neatly into the historians' round hole. Arthur: Shadow of a God gives a fascinating overview of Britain's lost hero and casts a light over an often-overlooked and somewhat inconvenient truth: Arthur was almost certainly not a man at all, but a god. He is linked inextricably to the world of Celtic folklore and Druidic traditions. Whereas tyrants like Nero and Caligula were men who fancied themselves gods, is it not possible that Arthur was a god we have turned into a man? Perhaps then there is a truth here. Arthur, "The King Under the Mountain", sleeping until his return will never return, after all, because he doesn't need to. Arthur the god never left in the first place and remains as popular today as he ever was. His legend echoes in stories, films, and games that are every bit as imaginative and fanciful as that which the minds of talented bards such as Taliesin and Aneirin came up with when the mists of the "dark ages" still swirled over Britain - and perhaps that is a good thing after all, most at home in the imaginations of children and adults alike - being the Arthur his believers want him to be.
