Books by MURRAY

From the bulldog to the basenji, from the beagle to the basset, P.D. Murray's collection of doggerel is sure to delight dog lovers of all ages. With both hilarious and heart-warming poems for breeds as exotic as the xoloitzcuintli, and as commonplace as the mongrel, Dachshunds and Doggerel is bound to have you sitting up and begging for more.

`Suicide' and `the Middle Ages' sounds like a contradiction. Was life not too short anyway, and the Church too disapproving, to admit suicide? Examining a wide range of suicides, and exploring how the living reacted to them, Alexander Murray takes the reader on a remarkable odyssey through medieval law, social life, literature, and religion.
