Erm, don't ask me how I got there last night, but I spotted this series on Ammy last night and quite a lot are free. I certainly don't have high hopes, but I was too curious not to pop for a couple. Link here. I got one on Margaret of Anjou, R3 and Alfred the Great. Time will tell...

ETA, I didn't get a chance to look closer at these until this morning. Apparently these were written/published in the late 19C. A bit of info here.

My first Anne Easter Smith book came yesterday - it's enormous! About the size of a telephone directory......I don't know where I'm going to put it.

Ordered today 3 books in the Greek Detective series (non HF) by Anne Zouroudi:

The Doctor of Thessaly
Our Lady of Sorrows
The Taint of Midas

Yes, it is really weird how you get to some sites.

I was doing a search for a review of "An Apprenticeship in Arms" and got to Harriet Klausner who I would never have heard of but for this site. As I do, by now, recognise her name, I decided to have a look a some of her reviews to see what I thought. My first thought was that all the authors had names beginning with 'M' and then I realised I had only got to the 'M' page. My word what a lot of authors have names beginning 'M'. Anyway I hadn't read any of them bar a couple that were so long ago, it wouldn't have meant anything to me. By the time I had scrolled the the bottom of the 'M's I was too bored to go to any other pages.

I still wonder how I got there!
