Thinking about starting a new blog and looking around, I was surprised to find that I already have this one! Which to be frank, does not have a lot of content!.

So, here I go - a new start.

What am I reading? A Man on a Donkey by H. F. M. Prescott.

What is it about? The back cover blurb tells me it is about - an in-depth study of one of the most eventful and terrifying periods of English history woven into a story that is unforgettable.  Which period? The Dissolution of the Monasteries by Henry V111.

The book I have is a 1969 edition, I have begun reading it, the language and writing style is wonderful, very lyrical - which is what I like. It does have 777 pages, so it will take me some time to finish it.
