This blog is dedicated to Piers Gaveston, Earl Of Cornwall. Piers, also known as Perrot, was the favourite of Edward II. Depending on historical interpretation, the definition of 'favourite' ranges from 'brother', 'beloved friend' or 'lover'. This blog will be a mix of historical narrative, personal opinion and hopefully some lighter postings! The Plus will cover other historical matters.

Look what's arrived in the post........
Shocked and delighted to receive in the post this morning Kathryn Warner's long-awaited biography of Edward II! Not quite sure why it's arrived so early, but what a wonderful surprise!
Yes the cover is gorgeous. It felt amazing to think I was finally holding it in my hand after all your years of hard work. Fantastic achievement! And the pictures inside are fantastic as well! Already read 2 chapters:)
Congratulations, Anerje! A pang of envy :-) I am looking forward to my Christmas present :-) My hubby already knows what to do :-D
ReplyDeletePS The cover is simply beautiful.
Ooooh, I'm so glad it's arrived safely (and early)! Thank you for buying it, Anerje, and happy reading! :)
ReplyDeleteKasia, that's lovely to know! :) I agree, the cover is gorgeous (I didn't design it so I can say that...:)
