[b]Rating[/b]: 5 out of 5 stars This is a terrific companion piece for anyone interested in the people who produced such wonderful books and poems. The analysis is careful, measured, informed and respectful but does not shy away from offering opinions which some may consider confronting or controversial. The analysis of birth order and childhood experiences is fascinating and gives scope for further consideration of their influence on the works of the Brontë's. I particularly enjoyed the analysis of Anne Brontë as the youngest child.

A must read if you are a fan of true crime and especially a fan of all the mystery involving what has to be one of the biggest true crime stories in the world: Jack the Ripper. A very interesting view on the victims, possible suspects and according to the author the true identity of the ripper.

I’ve long held an avid interest in the annals of Arctic exploration and was privileged to count as a friend Orlogskaptajn Tonny Larsen of the Danish Navy who shared some of his personal experiences during service in this unforgiving environment. Trevor Ware’s book, the result of extensive research, is both an erudite and compelling tribute to Sir William Edward Parry RN, the original Arctic hero. Sadly, his achievements have largely been forgotten today but with the publication of this book hopefully that may change. It illuminates not only Parry’s four Arctic expeditions but also his varied later career including his support for John Franklin’s final attempt to locate the North West Passage. Ware’s book is a fascinating read, enhanced by the inclusion of extensive notes and a comprehensive bibliography.'

Having been previously unaware of Rena's extraordinary story, I was enjoyed learning about her experiences, particularly her vital role in the codebreaking efforts at Bletchley Park. The writing adopts an accessible and conversational tone, making it a readable story for a wide audience. I would particularly recommend The Story of Rena Stewart to history enthusiasts interested in World War II intelligence and the untold stories of the individuals who shaped its course.

I enjoyed it and I would recommend it for anyone that wants an introduction to the Plantagenet royal line.
