It is little known that a second Norman Conquest almost took place in England in the early part of the thirteenth century. What’s more, Lincoln played a central role in securing the country for Henry III.
Lincoln author Cary Smith’s mystery romance novel, ‘A Shot of Snuff’ is set at the time of the 2010 general election, yet its references to the recent Olympic Games and its often unflattering portrayal of governmental and security departments make it pertinent today.
Lincolnshire author Ian Macalpine-Leny tells the story of his extended family in an entertaining and informative new book, tracing his ancestry from eighteenth-century Scotland to present day Doddington, with many lively tales in between, including an expedition in the Aden Hinterland and a round of golf with Crown Prince Hirohito and Edward, Prince of Wales.
