I Love to Go a Wandering: Magical Memories of Molineux Wolves
Ever since his secondary school days, Lawrence Kilkenny has supported Wolverhampton Wanderers, and during his 60 years as a Wolves fan, he's collected a whole host of wonderful (and not so wonderful) memories. In this book he recounts his most memorable matches, his favourite players, and what this football team from a city in the West Midlands has really meant to him over the years. I Love to go a Wandering isn't, however, just about football; it's about how football has helped to shape his life, along with his loving family, his beloved pets, his running and now his Parkinson's Disease, which has sadly brought an end to his Molineux attendance. A tale of sport, love and life, this book will appeal to a wide range of readers, from football fans to pet lovers, from athletes to Parkinson's sufferers, and many more besides. Even if you're not a football fan, after reading this book you may want to go 'a wandering' yourself.

Kilkenny
As part of the Louis L'Amour's Lost Treasures series, this edition contains exclusive bonus materials! Kilkenny wasn't looking for trouble when he entered the Clifton House stage station, but trouble found him when a reckless youngster named Tetlow challenged him, drew his gun, and paid for it with his life. Looking to escape a reputation that he never wanted, Kilkenny settles in the lonely mountain country of Utah, planning to ranch a high, lush valley. But the past is on his trail. Jared Tetlow is a powerful rancher determined to run his vast herd on the limited grasslands there--whether he has to buy out the local ranchers, run them out, or kill them. He'll cut down anyone who stands in his way, especially a man he already despises: the gunman named Kilkenny--the man who killed his son. Louis L'Amour's Lost Treasures is a project created to release some of the author's more unconventional manuscripts from the family archives. In Louis L'Amour's Lost Treasures: Volumes 1, Beau
