SUMMER READING FROM CAPUCHIN CLASSICS
Wales, New York and the wilds of Britain are traversed by our latest trio of books:
Shirley's Guild, by David Pryce-Jones, introduced by Julie Myerson, describes the impact on a Welsh village of alleged miraculous occurences following the death of a young child. Incandescence, by Craig Nova, introduced by William Boyd, examines how a New York businessman's fall from grace and wealth is infused by his unquenchable quest for those moments of blazing transendence that can illuminate our lives We the Accused, by Ernest Raymond, introduced by Clive Stafford-Smith, is a brilliant crime novel which relates a murder and the perpetrator's flight, imprisonment and eventual fate in a deeply humane and utterly compelling fashion.

Capuchin Classics are "Books to Keep Alive".
A driving sense of discovery lies at the heart of Capuchin: reviving great works of fiction which have been unjustly forgotten or neglected. This founding ethos - restoring a richness to the canon in an era of relative blandness - is coupled by a sprinkling of well known favourites to form a series which holds wide appeal. Each book is introduced afresh by a well known champion or figure of distinction.
The Capuchin series, flowing at a planned 18 titles a year, is opening with fiction,
with other categories including travel, biography and belles lettres in view.
