Mind you, given that Warwick's library, following its recent 'downsizing' no longer has any history books on its shelves (!!!), it won't be a source of such finds in the future.

As for Hibbert, he was a fine popular historian - I shall keep an eye out for Corunna.AlFronthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03309612957773750838noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6713133878713687741.post-33892226510325905412013-01-19T08:07:01.442-08:002013-01-19T08:07:01.442-08:00An an erudite, witty and moving post.

My copy is a Pan paperback edition with rather browning pages but remarkably still in one piece - bought around 1976ish I think. Another little favourite of mine, also released in paperback by Pan, is 'Corunna' by Cristopher Hibbert.<br /><br />Cheers, DaveDaveMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05707036473168150957noreply@blogger.com
