Books by Dr Paul Sutton

John Holmstrom, the literary editor of the Royal Shakespeare Company and a governor of the British Film Institute, spent decades travelling the world to research and write two scholarly books about children in films. The first book, The Moving Picture Boy Encyclopaedia, was published to unanimous acclaim, but the companion volume, The Moving Picture Girl Encyclopaedia, was not completed in Holmstrom's lifetime. Film historian Paul Sutton opens the archives to showcase hundreds of photographs and posters from Holmstrom's unfinished work. Many of the images have never before been published. In addition to the stills and poster galleries, the book includes a delightful 55-page scrapbook of newspaper and magazine cuttings from around the world, and a selection of Holmstrom's letters to and from filmmakers and film historians in Romania, Bulgaria, Germany, Korea, Denmark, Albania, The United States.

In this collection of poetic short stories, Paul Sutton takes a journey through life, from the very young through to the teenage years and into adulthood and old age. Young people and old people alone and together. Lyrical tales of rebellion, conformity, grief, neglect, creation and joy.Some of the stories have appeared in magazines over the last twelve years, but most are new. Praise for the collection has been unanimous: "It reminded me of the American short stories that overwhelmed us in the late forties. Paul Sutton is going to overwhelm us all again" (Vivian Pickles).Illustrated with Paul Sutton's own 35mm Leica photographs, and with line-drawings by Paul Dufficey, who made his name as the production designer of the Ken Russell film 'Tommy', from the rock opera by The Who.This paperback edition contains a brand new story, 'The King'.
