Samuel French Ltd.

Gaston Leroux's classic tale of tragedy, grand opera, romance and horror has been masterfully adapted by Ken Hill, the author of Mummy's Tomb and The Curse of the Werewolf, into a musical play which preserves all of the excitement and passion of the much-loved original, underscored by a strong current of comedy as well. The Phantom, born with a monstrously disfigured face but the voice of an angel, haunts the Paris Opera House and falls in love with Christine, a young chorus girl. He terrorizes the management in order to further Christine's career, while preying upon her childlike innocence to force her to love him in return. But Raoul, Christine's true love, intends to fight for her to the end... The magnificent score is based upon original arias from the operas of Verdi, Gounod, Bizet and others, delightfully arranged by Alasdair MacNeill.

BOOK DETAILS:  Hardcover: cloth over boards. 159 pp. A bit over 2 pounds. Foreword by Peter Morgan. This book is all b&w illustrations with commentary on the ads, revealing both the evolution of Morgan products and how Morgan advertising reflects the history of the Morgan brand. With an index.

The Morgan: Seventy-five years on the road

History

Europe

Littlehampton Book Services Ltd.

It is generally accepted that Karl Benz was the inventor of the motor car in 1885 but it is less well known that his car was a three-wheeler. Starting with the developments in the early years, this book puts three-wheelers in their historical context and describes the companies which produced them. For the first twenty-five years three and four wheel designs were developed side by side but the three-wheeler had severe bodywork limitations and four wheels gave a far more stable platform on which to build. Motoring at this time was limited to the wealthy and manufacturers began to realise that there was potentially an enormous market for cars at a reasonable price. For twenty years the light car, cyclecar, three-wheeler and motorcycle competed for this market until they were eclipsed by the mass-produced, £100 motor car. Since the Second World War many attempts have been made to revive the three-wheeler but the days when one in ten of vehicles on the road was a three-wheeler have gone.
