.Life in a Medieval Village
Search: England
by: Frances Gies, Joseph Gies

December 05, 1990
Years ago I checked this book out of the library. I bought a copy the day the book was returned to the library. I have used it so much for my research that it is now held together with tape and glue. (I am a published author of short fantasy stories that have as their framework some of the information on village life from this book.) Thanks are due to these fine people for opening up the past to our modern eyes.

.The World Turned Upside Down: Radical Ideas During the English Revolution (Penguin History)
Search: England
by: Christopher Hill

December 12, 1991
Certainly a candidate for it. Hill's monumental work is probably the definitive work of the British Marxist Historians group of scholars who appeared in the immediate after of World War II. It featured such lumanaries as E.P. Thompson and Rodney Hilton and basically invented Social History through its study of what became known as 'History from Below'.
Thompson's 'The Making of the English Working Class' is the most famous publication of the group, but 'World turned Upside Down' is, in the humble opinion of this author, the best.

It expands on Hill's thesis about the two revolutions that took place in England at the time of the Civil War. Focussing on the second, democratic, revolution, that ultimately failed; Hill examines some ... Read More:

.Split (Black Lace)

by: Kristina Lloyd

November 08, 2007
I really enjoyed this book. It is edgy and incredibly sexy and hard to put down. Even when I couldn't quite agree with the heroine's choices, I couldn't stop reading until the last page. I loved the ending too which fitted perfectly with the overall mystery and driving pace of this fascinating story.

.Pastoral Services (Common Worship: Services and Prayers for the Church of England)
Search: England
from: Church House Publishing

December 15, 2004
If you're ordained in the C of E, you already own this book. If you're about to get ordained into the C of E, you're about to own this book.
What's in it?
Well, the bits you will use the most are the Marriage service and the Funeral service.
The versions are given in full here including the alternatives: traditional language vs modern language (e.g. key difference in preface to marriage: "sexual union" vs "bodily union" in traditional language, and all that kind of thing)

They also print out likely scripture passages for funerals and weddings, which is useful.

As for the rest of the book, well, what you might not expect are quite a lot on healing services. This is useful, and practical and there's an interesting ... Read More:

.Three Men in a Float: Across England at 15 Mph
Search: England
by: Dan Kieran, Ian Vince

May 01, 2008
A very funny, and fascinating story of three men crossing England in an electric milk float. I loved the radio 4 programme about their trip but having read the book it seems that barely scratched the surface of their month-long journey. A top read.

.Brief Gaudy Hour: A Novel of Anne Boleyn
Search: England
by: Margaret Campbell Barnes

2008-03
This is a wonderful work of historical fiction in which the author weaves gossamer threads of fact and fiction around Anne Boleyn, one of the most intriguing and enigmatic women who ever lived. She was a woman who would change the face of England by holding out for a crown that she would wear for a scant three years. Her will to be crowned a Queen would pave the way for the Reformation to take root in England.

About a third of the book is devoted to establishing Anne's relationship to her family, friends, and early admirers. It details her first love affair, that with Henry Percy, the heir to the Earl of Northumberland, said to have been the love of her life, until Cardinal Wolsey, at the behest of King Henry VIII, nipped it in the bud, causing ...
