Hi Bernard,
I’m thinking about writing an espionage thriller for Windhammer 2014, although I could do with some ideas about fashion, anecdotes, and pastimes of British people during the Napoleonic period. To this end, I was wondering if you’ll recommend any book(s) covering these aspects? Also, is there a book detailing all the different criminal types – one in particular is something Sharpe did pre-army days that involved cutting the baggage from carriages in transit, but the name of this practice escape me.
