My brother Charles de Lisle died suddenly in 2014 of a gastric haemorrhage, aged 54. He was a much-loved brother, son, father and friend. His business cards always said "journalist and author": he wrote mainly about politics and cricket and collected books on both. He wanted the political books to be available to students, so we're working on that. The cricket books he said were to go to me or to charity, so I'm selling 300 of them in aid of Mind, each with a bookplate designed by our sister Rosie. If you'd like some, just say so here or find me on Twitter @TimdeLisle. For more about Charlie, see his obit: http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/obituaries/11149255/Charles-de-Lisle-obituary.html
