Hello Mr C.
the first book of yours that I read was Stonehenge because I have been into archaeology and British prehistory for a lifetime. The imaginative scenarios breathed life into the grey stone of prehistoric monuments. I see the in a different light now.
Then I started on Sharpe, not a period of history that previously interested me but I found myself studying uniforms in the Osprey book Armies of the Napoleonic Wars. Sharpe is marvellous, keeping me entertained through this winter.
Regards
Bob
