Book of the year recommendation

Just a brief, moderately immodest post to say that the wonderful Helen Castor has recommended The Favourite as one of her books of the year in this weekend’s Sunday Telegraph.

It is of course still available from Amazon and all good booksellers!

Also on her list is George Goodwin’s illuminating and compelling book about the Battle of Towton, Fatal Colours, which I can heartily recommend too. (I’m sure the other books on her list are equally great, but I haven’t read them yet…)
