A couple of nights ago, I wrote about how a book I’d ordered; Rebellion: England’s Early Stuart Kings had been due for delivery, but it went wrong at the last minute. My conclusion was that the book had probably been lost, not sure what I was going to do about that.
It was a good job that I didn’t do anything about it because the book turned up in the normal post. I quite often order second hand books through Amazon, they almost invariably in good condition, this one looks as though it is brand new. I’m willing to bet no one has read it fully.
As the title says, it covers the early Stuarts, the book itself runs from 1567 to the English Civil War, I’m presuming it will start somewhere around the coronation of King James VI (of Scotland) and the fly leaf says it starts in 1567 (when James was crowned King of Scotland) through to the Civil war, which is exactly what I was looking for.
That was a bit of a shock, I’ve just taken a bit of a time out to look up when I bought a book. I bought The English Civil War by Diane Purkiss on 20 Aug 2023. that’s not far off nearly two years ago (OK give or take five months). I knew when I started reading the book that I wanted to know about what leadd up to the civil war, but where to start, so that took me back to the 12th Century and the Plantagenets, I’ve followed them through the Tudors up until now, I’m almost caught up, and after Rebellion, I can start reading that book. I think I may take a pause though after Oliver Cromwell.
