Like all good investigators, Martyn Beardsley asks the important questions. Such as how could Robert Cecil, one of history’s most notorious spymasters not have known of the plot? How did the plotters dig a big tunnel and remove tons of spoil without being noticed? Are there any records of anyone having seen such a tunnel?
Well-researched, and putting its ideas across well, this book would make the basis for a most interest documentary.

For all of my life, Cadbury has been synonymous with chocolate, and I have always preferred Cadbury chocolate to the other brands, such as Galaxy. Diane’s charming and fascinating book tells the story of the Cadbury family and how they transformed the lives of the people of Bournville by building a model town for its employees. Over the years Cadbury has swallowed up loads of smaller chocolate companies, such as Fry, who still make my favourite chocolate bar, Fry’s Chocolate Cream, before themselves being taken over by the Americans, who tried to change our chocolate formula and failed. Long may they dominate the British chocolate world! The book is an absolute must for chocoholics!

Overall, it’s a marvellous little book regardless of where you are from and highlights some important sources and issues that I feel need to be heard. It was wonderful to have the chance to hear what these brave and marvellous women from Halifax had to say but until now never had the voice to do so.

Sailing into the Past
Until recently, there was little practical knowledge of the ships of the distant past. We could only surmise as to the manner in which a Viking ship sailed or how fast a Greek trireme could be rowed. The building of accurate replicas over the past generation has changed all that, and what has been learnt about the ships and boats of our ancestors has… Read more...
