Philip Kompass. a Imedieval PHILBY: KGB MASTERSPY by Phillip Knightley. What would John Le Carre and Len Deighton have done if there had been no Kim Philby? We would have had no George Smiley, no Bernard Samson to ferret out the moles in the Secret Service. Phillip Knightley was the last western journalist to have contact with "the spy who betrayed a generationâ€. His biography of a man whom he both admired and mistrusted is as facinating as is his subject. This study of the art of being a double spy is well worth investigating whether one is a lover of espionage or of biography. J.M. OUR VILLAGE by Mary Russell Mitford. One hundred and sixty years ago, a young lady published a series of articles to help support her family. With a delicate Austensian eye she describes not only the flora and fauna of her village far away in the country (with lots of hyphenated words), but she also reflects on the behaviour of her neighbours. It is 1820 to 1830, and human nature is as variable then as it is now. Courtship has its surprises (Going to the Races); and people are as bound to succeed then as now (Hannah Bint). The illustrations, all of the time or especially commissioned for this edition, add to the delight of the contents. J.M. THE COMPLETE GUIDE TO MEDICAL DIAGNOSTIC TESTS By Dr. Winter Griffith.
