The Penguin Atlas of Ancient History
more of a study than a read
found in a secondhand book shop 50p printed in 1967
boring I know but interesting to me
would not have wanted to be around then , must have been heart stopping
think I would have liked a crossbow if I had been around then or maybe an uzi (s) might have been more effective
HAPPY NEW YEAR MATE
another history tome
1066-1485
might seem a little boring but I do have to read it in short bursts to let some of it sink in and some of it is a tad complicated ...there was rather a lot of evil bastards around then and it difficult keeping up with who killed who and why.
"William the Conqueror" by Peter Rex
blooming complicated but really good plenty of murder and mayhem
just about to read about the Battle itself
it seems we owe him plenty
"Forest voices" by Humphry Phelps
small memories from people who lived in the Forest of Dean(where both sides of my family hailed from)from 1900 upto about the 60's
don't normally do much reading but this hooked me and have another similar on the way
