Whether you’re an armchair enthusiast for all things “ancient,” a dyed-in-the-wool Anglophile, or simply looking for a new way to experience England, The Amateur Historian’s Guide series will delight you.  These light-hearted books explore the years between 1066 and 1600, combining warm-blooded early English history with practical, clever touring tips.  They are certain to make your next visit to England enjoyable and entertainingly educational.  Read “Sarah & Carole’s Greatest Hits” tour for a taste of these high-spirited books.

The Amateur Historian’s Guide to Medieval & Tudor London is a merry romp through ancient London sites, brought to life with jaunty tales of the people and events associated with them.  With this book in hand, you will be able to explore off-the-beaten path sites and see London in an exciting new way, regardless of whether this is your first trip or your 10th.

 The Amateur Historian’s Guide to Medieval & Tudor Day Trips South of London travels back in time through Kent, Surrey and Sussex.  Through this book, you will fight the Battle of Hastings with William the Conqueror, relive Henry VIII’s courtship of Anne Boleyn at Hever Manor, visit Thomas Becket’s shrine at Canterbury Cathedral and shiver over the gruesome details of his tragic murder.  These and many, many other adventures await you in the pages of this book.  And you will be able to do it all, leaving London in the morning and returning in time for dinner or an evening at the theater.
