Roman Britain by Richard Hobbs and Ralph Jackson. Non-fiction. US release December 1, 2010. For nearly four centuries Britain was a province on the outer edge of the Roman Empire and developed a distinctively Romano-British culture and way of life. Drawing on archaeological finds, ancient written sources and the latest research on surviving artefacts - from a child's shoe to a birthday invitation, from a lifelike portrait to a treasure trove - Roman Britain brings the ancient past to life. Spanning more than ten centuries and ranging the length and breadth of ancient Britain, this lively history evokes a vivid sense of life in Roman times - for both rich and poor, Romans and native Britons, city and country dwellers. A rich diversity of lifestyle and culture evolved, experienced across all strata of society. Native British traditions of trade and craftsmanship merged with the imported Roman styles and practices to create a unique cultural synthesis, the legacy of which is still visible today in British landscapes, architecture, art and society. Ralph Jackson and Richard Hobbs are curators of Romano-British antiquities in the British Museum.

I'm curious about that one! I see on the Amazon UK page that there was a second author involved--I wonder if this was a case of a lesser known author being brought in to help the celebrity author? Definitely one for the Kindle, anyway!

Nita Krevans is an academic, so possibly she was consultant or translator.

There's a bit more about The Princess of Nowhere at HarperCollins

Sigh for a book that's supposed to be out next month, I can't understand why it hasn't shown up on any book selling site, just odd.

I would guess it's being self-published.

This is unexpected, a second book this year from I.J. Parker:

The Fires of the Gods 16 December 2010 (already in stock... :cool :) :

Image A Sugawara Akitada Novel - Eleventh-century Japan. Sugawara Akitada’s ailing wife is expecting a child, and when he loses his job and tries to confront the nobleman who is responsible for his dismissal, he ends up suspected of his murder. With no income and a growing family to support, Akitada desperately plunges into the investigation of this crime, aided by his faithful servant Tora, inadvertently placing not only his own life, but also the lives of his wife and child, in grave danger . . . (Sugawara Akitada #8)
