  • MOAB IS MY WASHPOT for You the Book of D., Verse 10, Chapter 11 to Live Is to War with Trolls in Heart and Soul
    Annotation "'Stephen Fry is one of the great originals… This autobiography of his first twenty years is a pleasure to read, mixing outrageous acts with sensible opinions in bewildering confusion… That so much outward charm, self-awareness and intellect should exist alongside behaviour that threatened to ruin the lives of innocent victims, noble parents and Fry himself, gives the book a tragic grandeur and lifts it to classic status.' Financial Times; 'A remarkable, perhaps even unique, exercise in autobiography… that aroma of authenticity that is the point of all great autobiographies; of which this, I rather think, is one' Evening Standard; 'He writes superbly about his family, about his homosexuality, about the agonies of childhood… some of his bursts of simile take the breath away… his most satisfying and appealing book so far' Observer" Stephen Fry MOAB IS MY WASHPOT For You The Book of D., Verse 10, Chapter 11 To live is to war with trolls in heart and soul. To write is to sit in judgement on oneself.

  • Correspondence and Papers of Maurice Charles Collier Ward
    2017 Daniel Reed for The Burgon Society THE BURGON SOCIETY CORRESPONDENCE AND PAPERS OF MAURICE CHARLES COLLIER WARD Historical Background This collection was formed by Maurice Charles Collier Ward (1926- 2011). Ward worked for several decades in the outfitters’ trade in Cambridge, finally serving as Academic Robe Manager for Ede and Ravenscroft Ltd. in the City. Custodial History These papers were donated to the Society by Ward’s family in March 2017. Mixed loose material was originally stored in two file folders, and a box file. This material was dispersed and arranged into the respective sequences at WARD/1-5. The original order of items in the reference files at WARD/2/1/2 has been retained. Stray material relating to other Cambridge outfitters’ companies was grouped together at WARD/2/2. A series of outfitters’ brochures and price-lists (etc.) were arranged alphabetically at WARD/4/2. Description This collection comprises correspondence, working documents, publications and other materials relating to Maurice Ward’s employment in the outfitters’ trade in Cambridge. They also reflect Ward’s personal interests in ceremonial dress. The correspondence and papers at WARD/1 date from 1969 to 1995, and cover Ward’s professional employment in the outfitters’ trade. WARD/2/1 includes working documents from Ward’s time at Ede and Ravenscroft. Reference files at WARD/2/1/2 chiefly refer to the academic gown trade with the University of Cambridge. WARD/2/2 comprises correspondence and papers pre-dating Ward’s own lifetime, including material generated by A. G. Almond & Co. Ltd. and Thomas Pratt & Son Ltd of Cambridge.
