    Avoid mouse traps, keep clear of cats, and never go to the seashore without your mother and father. Along with the dangerous currents of the mighty sea, there are foxes, wild cats and hawks searching for a tasty meal of small mice.

His first encounter was a wise and friendly old seagull named Sebastian, who agreed to take Bertie on a tour. Here begins the little mouse’s adventure told 70 years ago to the author, John Hutchinson, by his mother, Harriet Jaqueth Fitz Hutchinson, to whom this book is dedicated. This 90 page hard cover book with a trim size of 7 by 10 inches, was professionally produced for children ages 8 to 12 years old.
  • The Press-Gang Afloat and Ashore

    J. R. Hutchinson

    Paperback (Dodo Press, Jan. 4, 2008)
    "The practice of pressing men-that is to say, of taking by intimidation or force those who will not volunteer- would seem to have been world-wide in its adoption. Wherever man desired to have a thing done, and was powerful enough to insure the doing of it, there he attained his end by the simple expedient of compelling others to do for him what he, unaided, could not do for himself.

  • The Last Days of Henry VIII: Conspiracy, Treason and Heresy at the Court of the Dying Tyrant

    Robert Hutchinson

    eBook (Weidenfeld & Nicolson, Dec. 1, 2011)
    After 35 years in power, Henry VIII was a bloated, hideously obese, black-humoured old man, rarely seen in public. He had striven all his life to ensure the survival of his dynasty by siring legitimate sons, yet his only male heir was eight-year-old Prince Edward. It was increasingly obvious that when Henry died, real power in England would be exercised by a regent. The prospect of that prize spurred the rival court factions into deadly conflict.Robert Hutchinson spent several years in original archival research. He advances a genuinely new theory of Henry's medical history and the cause of his death; he has unearthed some fabulous eyewitness material and papers from death warrants, confessions and even love letters between Katherine Parr and the Lord High Admiral.

  • Extinct Monsters

    H N Hutchinson

    Paperback (CreateSpace Independent Publishing Platform, July 7, 2014)
    Natural history is deservedly a popular subject. The manifestations of life in all its varied forms is a theme that has never failed to attract all who are not destitute of intelligence. From the days of the primitive cave-dwellers of Europe, who lived with mammoths and other animals now lost to the world; of the ancient Egyptians, who drew and painted on the walls of their magnificent tombs the creatures inhabiting the delta of the Nile; of the Greeks, looking out on the world with their bright and child-like curiosity, down to our own times, this old, yet ever new, theme has never failed. Never before was there such a profusion of books describing the various forms of life inhabiting the different countries of the globe, or the rivers, lakes, and seas that diversify its scenery. Popular writers have done good service in making the way plain for those who wish to acquaint themselves with the structures, habits, and histories of living animals; while for students a still greater supply of excellent manuals and text-books has been, and still continues to be, forthcoming. But in our admiration for the present we forget the great past. How seldom do we think of that innumerable host of creatures that once trod this earth! How little in comparison has been done for them! Our natural-history books deal only with those that are alive now. Few popular writers have attempted to depict, as on a canvas, the great earth-drama that has, from age to age, been enacted on the terrestrial stage, of which we behold the latest, but probably not the closing scenes. When our poet wrote “All the world’s a stage,” he thought only of “men and women,” whom he called “merely players,” but the geologist sees a wider application of these words, as he reviews the drama of past life on the globe, and finds that animals, too, have had “their exits and their entrances;” nay more, “the strange eventful history” of a human life, sketched by the master-hand, might well be chosen to illustrate the birth and growth of the tree of life, the development of which we shall briefly trace from time to time, as we proceed on our survey of the larger and more wonderful animals of life that flourished in bygone times.
