In the quest for beauty there has only ever been one authority - Vogue. The magazine's pursuit of perfection has chronicled the changing face of beauty at its seductive best; its photographs and illustrations represent the power of the transformation of self, the creative statement made with a brush of make-up, the seduction implied in a gloss of lipstick. Having created a world where the female form rules supreme, Vogue is the fairy godmother to beauty's fable and Vogue Beauty celebrates the fashion and form that has shaped our viewpoint: clothed or naked; dramatically enhanced or naturally simplistic; the face, the mask, the luxury, the allure of the aesthetic. Capturing the scent of glamour alongside the romance of woman, Vogue Beauty is as classic as a stick of red lipstick.

Author of the best-selling AGINCOURT, Juliet Barker now tells the equally remarkable, but largely forgotten, story of the dramatic years when England ruled France at the point of a sword.Henry V's second invasion of France in 1417 launched a campaign that would put the crown of France on an English head. Only the miraculous appearance of a visionary peasant girl - Joan of Arc - would halt the English advance. Yet despite her victories, her influence was short-lived: Henry VI had his coronation in Paris six months after her death and his kingdom endured for another twenty years. When he came of age he was not the leader his father had been. It was the dauphin, whom Joan had crowned Charles VII, who would finally drive the English out of France. Supremely evocative and brilliantly told, this is narrative history at its most colourful and compelling - the true story of those who fought for an English kingdom of France.
