Ok, I had an idea - everyone who has read a good book that is either historical, our period or interesting and readable, can post it with the author and title on here, and say if you have a copy or not. Ppl can then swop them as they wish.
I possess and have read, and can definitely recommend:
'The Pendragon', by Catherine Christian - another take on King Arthur, and very good.
'The Princess Bride', by William Goldman (though I feel we are all very well aquainted with this one…)
'The Key to the Lost Kingdom', by Jay Ashton
'Arthur - the Seeing Stone', by Kevin Crossley-Holland - one of a trilogy, again about King Arthur, and quite readable, but maybe aimed more at teenagers…
'the Hollow Hills', 'The Crystal Cave', and 'The Last Enchantment', by Mary Stewart - Another King Arthur trilogy, but older and more well known.
'Alanna the Lioness', by Tamora Pierce - definitely aimed at early teenagers, but I still love them!
'Wolf of the Plains', by Conn Iggulden - excellent story about the start of Ghengis Khan's life. I think there will be at least 2 more before the series is finished, but I have not found them yet.
'History of Britain' by Simon Schama - very good description of british history between the year dot and the end of the Tudors.
'Kingdom of the North', 'The White Horse' etc by Bernard Cornwell - READ THESE BOOKS!! they are amzing :D
So there we are, that is my amazing literature selection for you! If anyone fancie borrowing them this term, let me know by tonight at the latest, and if i forget them, thatn I will bring them along next term!
