Nicola Cornick An exploration of British parliamentary history from 1603 to 1945 through the scandals, misconduct and crimes of rogue MPs. A worthy re-evaluation of the reign of Offa, showing through varied evidence how his power shaped Mercia’s dominance and early English state formation. An examination of Lincolnshire's folklore, tracing how legends like Yallery Brown and the Lincoln Imp have evolved over time through storytelling, embellishment, and cultural memory Robert Poley returns amid the intrigue surrounding Mary, Queen of Scots’s captivity in another of Peter Tonkin's depiction of plots and political tension in Elizabethan England. An ambitious and successful account demonstrating how unlikely alliance and antagonism, rooted in identity and ambition, led to the Peloponnesian War. Modern-day understanding of the Roman world was frequently shaped by public perception and talk of the emperors played a role in influencing that history.
