Book Corner: Mortimer’s A to Zs of English History by Ian Mortimer

New review: Mortimer’s A to Zs of English History has to be one of the best books I have read this year. It is such a fun read – and informative!

No, but I am thinking of recording it at the end of this year, when time allows.

Yes the two are the same. The change of name for the paperback was not my choice.

State of my desk as we near the end of proofreading the new book, ‘Mortimer’s A-Zs of English History’. One day it’ll be tidy again.

Also my A-Zs of English History should appear this autumn - October, I think. The final author queries will go to the editor next week too.

That’s very kind of you, Alan. Thank you. I’m just reading over the first 19 chapters of The History of England through the Windows of an Ordinary House for delivery to the editor on Monday; three more chapters to write. Due for publication April 2026.

I’m working on it. It’s just that history gets harder the closer you come to the modern world.

Medieval Horizons, Why The Middle Ages Matter by @ianmortimer.bsky.social is fascinating, important and a great read - very quotable - we stand on the shoulders of medieval giants

Makes me proud: it’s my son’s bar. A young man with vision and taste.

Agree with Libby Purves's article in the Times. I spent the best part of 14 years on the planning commitee of a National Park Authority and if I was ever a 'blockage' to development, it was with good reason. Bad development projects SHOULD be resisted. www.thetimes.com/comment/colu...

Please don't call what RFK Jr. and Jay Bhattacharya are going to do medieval. It's not medieval. It's nothing like the Middle Ages. People in the Middle Ages were happy to try all kinds of things to not die of the plague and if you'd given them antibiotics and vaccines they would have loved it.

I’m feel proud, @bsky.app is receiving so many new followers they can't cope. X is haemorrhaging. I’m so happy.

I love this place, so impressive, so high - but I can't help but think that the very altitude must have made it quite impractical. I mean, nipping out for a pint of milk must have taken ages and been hell on the legs.

Glad to see you again, Stephen. Thanks for your support.

Dr Ian Mortimer @ianmortimer.bsky.social · 20/11/2024

Thanks for your kind and generous comments. Yes, I do intend to read all my books from now on. It seems odd, looking back, that no one in the earlier days ever suggested I should have a go at reading one myself. But now I know I can, I shall! It's quite an intimate thing, reading an audiobook.

Looks like an introduction is in order. I'm an English historian living in Devon, author of 22 books incl 4 Time Traveller's Guides, 4 biographies, 4 historical novels, & a book about running, etc. Currently writing a history of England from the point of view of those who lived in my house.

Congratulations, Martin! (from the author of the book just to the left of yours...)
