[b]Rating[/b]: 5 out of 5 stars
Following in the Footsteps of Edward II by Kathryn Warner is a fabulous historical account of the life and reign of Edward II (reigned 1307-1327). Very interesting to learn more about a King that continued to make bad choices, continued to surround himself with “favorites” that did not help his cause, as well as the inevitable decline that was sped forth by his wife, Isabella of France, and her coupe with Roger Mortimer to instill his son Edward III. A quick read in 2 days.

If you’re looking for a book to provide a good historical introduction and overview of women’s suffrage in Wales then this is it. It introduces the key players and does a really solid job of placing a dynamic movement in a Welsh context. It provides a Welsh angle to a very important historical topic that is often generalised as a British issue.

★★★★★ Everything about this book represents the quality writing found in other publications by the same author. It is easy to understand and especial thought must have gone into reducing technical terms to an absolute minimum. I found myself hard pressed to put it down, wanting more with each page I read. Highly recommended for anyone remotely interested in railways but suitable for those whose interests center around heritage, engineering, both mechanical and civil.

Cardiff and the Valleys in the Great War
Looks at the Cardiff Pals and other local regiments who fought in the Great War and how the experience of war impacted on the area, from the initial enthusiasm for sorting out the German Kaiser in time for Christmas 1914, to the gradual realization of the enormity of human sacrifice the families of Cardiff were committed to as the war stretched out… Read more...
