I'm struggling to remember / find the name of a book I read years ago. Probably generically a sic fi book (I'm talking about late 60s / early 70s) in which the "hero" / protagonist was a military man back in Middle Ages (or possibly Dark Age - pre 1066 with Vikings etc) - wounded, he was treated with honey &, I think, cobwebs which somehow made him almost immortal and he then became a warrior in every major conflict that followed, up to and including D Day.


Nicholas Monsaratt wrote something similar "The Master Mariner" but that was entirely sea based - this was more army warfare orientated.


Does it ring any bells with anyone - or can anyone give me a lead?

Don't know the book in question ...but have you read any Guy Gavriel Kay ?

Fantasy ,set mainly middle and pre middle ages ,lots of warfare and poloticking .

Really bad description on my part but they are heaven ,try Tigana ,or The Last Light of the Sun .

I have no idea, but if anyone can help with a sci-fi book, probably from the 60s or 50s, which features a planet of human(kids) - maybe earth - with two suns, one yellow and one blue, please let me know. I read it at the top of the stairs in my house when I was about nine and it freaked me out!

    • There will always be kids pushing the envelope as the saying goes, but having some boundaries should help most understand what they can and cannot do. I think dedicated, daily park wardens is exactly what is required...with a hotline to SNT teams on the beat. Is there no way money made from Gala or from Park parking fees can be diverted to provide that funding? I feel it would be a really good use of money. The principle aim being to maintain the park as a safe and relaxing environment for all.
    • Its almost the same as Grove Vale School , now Goose Green School.
    • They used to have dedicated park wardens, who I'm sure used to look after the parks and locked and opened the gates. Years ago I knew someone who was one. I thought they were based in that hut by the toilets. Are they not there any more? The community wardens are attached to the police rather than a specific park, aren't they?
    • Yes, sad how Rye Lane has taken a dive, interesting to see those pics CPR Dave. It's shocking how the section between Choumert Road and the Nag's Head in particular has lost its vibrancy, meanwhile the next section to the top of Peckham Rye Common has gentrified. Wonder why such a distinction in fortunes? Anyway the station square plans have fallen behind yet again, demolition won't now start this summer. The only "work" that will now take place this summer is surveying of the arcade, which they've had 10 years since planning permission to do. At least the replacement TSB branch has progressed but the Blenheim Grove corner building still looks unfinished, despite claims it "is now complete". https://www.southwark.gov.uk/planning-environment-and-building-control/current-and-future-development/peckham-and-nunhead-2
