J.R.R. Tolkien: The Fall of Arthur
This book is recommended by Thygocanberra. I have a copy and will read with interest.
J.R.R. Tolkien: The Lord of the Rings
What can I say. My favourite book. I think I have at least four different editions.
R. G. Grant: Battle: A Visual Journey Through 5,000 Years of Combat
This is the dream book for wargamers. Literally hundreds of battles. Over 350 pages of full colour illustrations. I cannot recommend it highly enough.
John Gibson Warry: Warfare in the Classical World: An Illustrated Encyclopedia of Weapons, Warriors, and Warfare in the Ancient Civilizations of Greece and Rome
We all have a wonderful book with fantastic illustrations, that amazed us in childhood, and followed us to our grown up bookshelf. This is one of those books. (*****)
Antony Beevor: Stalingrad: The Fateful Siege: 1942-1943
In school we were taught such an English view of World War II. Now I have discovered the epic battles on the Eastern Front, truly gargantuan conflicts. This book is a great introduction to the Eastern Front and a brilliant history book. (*****)
Yes, we think it will be nice for the boys to see the ducklings, and we expect that we can find them new homes quite easily afterwards.
Ultimately we will downsize to 2-3 muscovy hens and the drake and find new homes for the runners. Although the runners are better layers over all they are less friendly and dig bigger holes in the back yard than the muscovies.

Only a cricket team can have too many ducks. Presumably if you have a drake you are planning to breed them.

The laws of the Socialst Rainbow People's Republic almost certainly make your sensible suggestion illegal.

Don't you think the names are a bit sissy. What about Frederick Fastsword, Clement the Cleaver, Stormcloud or Aldred the Great.

You should take the excess duck eggs to Dickson and sell them to the Chinese grocers, or perhaps barter them for goods from their store.
