Found this in the Little Free Library I visited today in Upminster, Essex. Good find as I’ve wanted to read this one for ages. Will read and release.

This book gives plenty of examples of pretty disgraceful behaviour all round. You get bed hopping, murder plotting and conducting, jealousy and power struggles all round. I’ve not really had a problem with having a royal family, but when you really look at it, their history is actually very shameful! Why do we look up to them and the aristocracy as our “betters”? Maybe we are just too busy trying to survive. Although, I upon reflection, it’s not just rich people problems. People are people after all.

If you have picked up a book from here, You may have noticed there is a little hand written note/sticker inside with a unique number and direction to the BookCrossing website. In a nutshell, BookCrossing allows you the reader to become a part of the Books story. You can track the recorded movements of the book and add an opinion on the story. It’s free and you can do it anonymously. But if you join, you will get notified when the next reader journals it. You wouldn’t believe how far some books go!

No takers yet, so I’ve reshuffled the Library and taken this one out for now.

Posting off to a fellow BookCrosser to hopefully brighten up a Lockdown day.

Thanks for the book, chocolate and letter. I'm glad I didn't have to wait until the 20th to open it!

Interesting collection of accounts of people who died as Traitors in the Tower of London.

This will be going to Yogiberri with some presents when I next go to the post office. If she doesn’t read it, it will go on the table in the entrance hall of her flats. Her neighbours are in need of reading material.

Join UK Bookcrossers at the Newcastle Unconvention from 9th to 11th October 2020

A little not so light entertainment for my neighbours.
