Hello, reading the Sharpe books led to purchasing biographies of Wellington; reading of other books has resulted in even further expense for me! Thankfully you haven’t written a boring read yet… Anyway, at a time when history is deemed to be boring by many kids, I would like to see some of your books (and certain books by others) introduced into the curriculum. History, for me, is about empathy – getting an insight into the sights, sounds, thoughts, beliefs and emotions of folk living in another time. That’s what makes history interesting – the why? And how? So: have you ever written anything deliberately for student consumption? Ben Wire
