A wide range of topics are discussed from the geography of the area, buildings and décor to deadly nightshade and portrait medallions worn by the women.Each topic is deeply detailed, informative and I'm sure the product of years of extensive research. My favorite sections were about the people of York, their dress, jewelry and funerary practices. I also very much appreciated the photos and drawings which definitely breathed life into this work.

This is such a fantastic book because it offers a glimpse of royal, personal and ecclesiastical seals of the kings and queens of England, Scotland and the United Kingdom. The best part of this book are the stunning, high-quality photographs so you don't have to imagine what these seals looked like. The book was published in association with the National Archives, so you can admire these beauties at home, just by looking at them! I loved it.

This was a very interesting book. I liked how it jumped around in vampire pop culture. It was short enough to keep me entertained while still being fun.

A great reference full of interesting facts that made me want to read more. I found it hard to put down and finished in a weekend.

Basdeo’s biography brings the tail end of the eighteenth century to life, exploring through the extraordinary life of Joseph Ritson the political, philosophical, and literary landscape of the time. Readers will not only gain a visceral experience of city and town life in the eighteenth century, but will come away with a thorough understanding of the ways in which the various landscapes of a generation shapes both its popular culture and that of posterity. Punchy, thoughtful, and melancholic, Discovering Robin Hood is a much-overdue tribute to the man who re-gifted Robin Hood to the world, whose legacy of truth and humanity deserves to be widely known once again.
