I haven't had a problem with the accuracy and the usefulness of the information in this Lonely Planet guide to England. I have no complaints there. The prices and the opening times are right. The recommendations insightful and the options presented (more or less) clearly.
My only complaint is that the depth of information is quite limited and the maps don't often cover more than the very city town centre of most locations.
I can understand that the book can only be so big but really, who wants to carry around a chapter of England's history when you travel and then resort to a series of additional maps and guide information. If you're going to carry this great hunking book when you travel, take it to read as well as as your guide ... Read More:

75.Good Evening, Mrs Craven: The Wartime Stories of Mollie Panter-Donnes (Persephone Classics) by: Mollie Panter-Downes

Mollie Panter-Downes takes a wonderfully penetrating look at how World War II affects the daily lives of families, wives, and veterans. She paints a nostalgic picture of these very 'English' lives, yet does not shy away from the harsh realities the conflict produced for those left at home. The title story is particularly moving in its potrayal of Mr.Craven's mistress 'Mrs. Craven'. This middle-aged spinster's deep loneliness and anguish when her companion has gone to fight and his regular letters suddenly cease, touches at the heart of human suffering. From the five Persephone books I have read, this stands out as a favourite.

Boxing Day 1962 was the day the most prolific scorer this country has ever produced received an injury that was to finish his playing career. A late friend of mine was there that day at Gigg Lane Bury and he said it was a very sad day. However, with hindsight one wonders if Cloughies misfortune was the key to making him possibly the greatest manager ever by turning around not one but two clubs in turmoil. From the moment he began Managing Hartlepool to his last fateful match in charge of Notts Forest he was a man driven to be the best. It is all here in a great read although I must say I found the earlier Autobiography funnier with a lot of quips and comments. The man was a master and you have to remember he would not tolerate his players abusing ... Read More:

Some of the most fascinating characters in history hail from the murkier depths of times lacking much documentary sources. Perhaps their interest comes from this patchwork of conflicting sources, or perhaps the temporal distance lends enchantment. It also presents a problem for the biographer, in that the lack of sources makes it difficult to write authoritatively on the subject. If the subject is a mystery then the book can't be much more than conjectures joined up with speculation.

Eleanor of Aquitaine occupies an odd place in such a time. As a ruler and heiress in her own right, and as queen of France and later England, her life is much more richly documented than most of her contemporaries. Her movements, lodgings, nutrition and clothing ... Read More:

This highly informative account of Anne Boleyn brings to life a Tudor woman once seen as elusive and obscure.
Due to the high volume of biased primary accounts of Anne Boleyn written by the likes of Chapuys (the Spanish ambassador to England at the time) and others, it has been notoriously difficult to make an objective and impartial assessment of Anne Boleyn however Ives succeeds in bringing the true character of Anne Boleyn to life using a variety of sources, challenges biased accounts of Anne's life (such as Chapuys' accounts of the ailing marriage) and also presents compelling evidence to support his assertions, such as the controversy surrounding Anne's birth date.

Whilst at times, Ives presents the not so endearing qualities of Anne Boleyn, ... Read More:

I thought that this book was just OK and nothing else. I could put it down and I wasnt desperately trying to find 5 minutes to pick it back up again.

Not having read the first book, it was a little bit difficult for me grasp who was who and what had happened previously. I think the author assumes that you have read the previous book.

I also found the book a bit rushed. There is no real description of the characters and I found that I didnt really care too much for them.

I see the ending coming from about a third of the way through the book, and I really dont think that it was a good one, a bit of a let down and a cop out.

To try and put it into perspective, I am huge Martina Cole fan, although I found Faces, her last one ... Read More:
