Great girl , new her in school when she used to babysit my kids . She went off to Cambridge. She took care of my kids throughout the summer hols . I tried to read some of the Medieval Latin documents she was translating for the first time . Just squiggles really but she could read them Very interested to hear that Harry .....once a history buff always one , have you read any other material that she has wrote ? She was also the historian featured on the recent series about Windsor castle

The 80's adaptation of John Jakes "North and South" trilogy, concerning the American Civil War, was on TV just recently and I quite enjoyed it. Melodramatic and history lite for the genpop but ok. Anyway, I ordered the books cheapo off Ebay and I'm about to dig in. I'm sure I read them at the time and they've stuck in my mind which means they were either very good or terrible. We'll see. If you enjoy N&S try,if you have not already done so, Gone with the wind. I never really fancied it having seen the film a few times. A brilliant book well worth reading. Thanks ray. I haven't read GWTW. I'll give it a go, my sister will have a copy.
