The second version of "Lady Chatterley's Lover". It is in many ways quite different from the first: both in the personalities of Parkin, the gamekeeper (Mellors) and Connie Chatterley, and in the development of the love story. There is far more social comment, direct or implied, and a very different ending.

John Thomas and Lady Jane is the second version of a story that was told in the infamous and controversial Lady Chatterley's Lover. John Thomas and Lady Jane are the pet names for the genitalia of the protagonists. The story concerns a young married woman, whose upper class husband has been paralyzed from the waist down due to an injury from war. In addition to physical limitations, his emotional neglect of his wife forces distance between the couple. Her emotional frustration leads her into an affair with the gamekeeper.

Lady Jane Grey, is one of the most elusive and tragic characters in English history. In July 1553 the death of the childless Edward VI threw the Tudor dynasty into crisis. On Edward's instructions his cousin Jane Grey was proclaimed queen, only to be ousted 13 days later by his illegitimate half sister Mary and later beheaded. In this radical reassessment, Eric Ives rejects traditional portraits of Jane both as hapless victim of political intrigue or Protestant martyr. Instead he presents her as an accomplished young woman with a fierce personal integrity. The result is a compelling dissection by a master historian and storyteller of one of history’s most shocking injustices.

"But as A Drink with Shane MacGowan shows, the inspiration for his artistry and beliefs is as varied as his range of mind - embracing Ireland, religion, his family, esoteric philosophy and history."--Jacket.

For most, the name of Lady Jane Grey means the 'nine days queen', the child who was used as a pawn in the power politics of the Tudor realm by both her parents, the Suffolks, and Northumberlands. Alison Plowden's new book tells the tragic story of Jane's life, and death, but also reveals her to be a woman of unusual strength of conviction, with an intelligence and steady faith beyond her years. Told with Alison's usual skill and adeptness, this is a story which will stir compassion in the hearts of the hardiest readers. It also gives us insight into the least known of Henry VIII's wives, Katherine Parr.
