At last a book about Maria Branwell. She seems to have been forgotten in the histories of her famous children. Her story is just as fascinating and this wonderful book, that has been so well researched, shows what an amazing life she had before she met Patrick Bronte and then of course her journey through motherhood. I really enjoyed her story as there doesn't seem to have been much written about her. Thanks to the writing of the author this book was interesting from start to finish.

A wonderful book for any history lover. The War of the Roses is complicated to follow, but this book is written in a way that engages the reader and makes the players in the war easy to follow and remember. A must for any Tudor history fan.

Sailing into the Past
Until recently, there was little practical knowledge of the ships of the distant past. We could only surmise as to the manner in which a Viking ship sailed or how fast a Greek trireme could be rowed. The building of accurate replicas over the past generation has changed all that, and what has been learnt about the ships and boats of our ancestors has… Read more...
