1.Edward, Prince of Wales and Aquitaine: A Biography of the Black Prince by: Richard Barber February 21, 2003

This book has been accused of being too 'simplistic' and narrative based, because it doesn't dwell on details of military strategy etc. I think this is because Barber is concerned with keeping the reader interested at all times. This he certainly achieves, making for a very easy read. After reading David Green's book 'The Black Prince' however, I saw that Barber wasn't as great as I had at first thought. Basically, if you're not a historian (or crazy about military details) then you will find nothing wrong with this book and simply enjoy reading it. The other thing it does well is teach a huge amount very quickly and easily - so if you're a student this is the one to read first! 4 stars because it's not the best, but it doesn't get ...

Confession – I enjoyed the Da Vinci Code – so much so that I wanted something a little more serious to dig deeper. I found this book very thorough, well researched, showing how the story began and has evolved from the Middle Ages. The only downside is that the typeface in this paperback edition was very small – quite a strain on the eyes at times, so that I deducted 1 star.

3.Good Question! The Art of Asking Questions To Bring About Positive Change by: Judy Barber November 10, 2005

Wow - what an achievement to get so many inspiring and 'in-demand' people involved in this thought-provoking book of wisdom. Judy Barber is an obsolute star to have made it happen I feel privileged to have been involved!

4.Myths and Legends of the British Isles by: Richard Barber October 28, 1999
Average Rating: >>More Details		Off The Bookshelf's Price: £14.99 Prices subject to change. Used Price: £0.01
If you are studying history then this is probably a good reference book. If you are looking for inspiration as a writer then I would say there are far better books out there.

...in which unicorns and lions rub shoulders and haunches with cattle, hounds and mice. This book allows us to imagine beasts, fowl and fishes as our medieval forefathers did, in what to present-day eyes is a confused blend of 'facts', speculation and moralizing. The emphasis is all on knowledge gained from the library, rather than from the field... and how it can be applied in pursuit of a good & pious life. We feel the force of a pervasive belief that the Beasts were Created by God for the benefit of Man, but we also see an awe and a delight in the beauty and variety of that Creation, most vividly in the beautifully reproduced miniatures which illustrate the text. I love this book, and recommend it wholeheartedly.
