Made famous by Michael Portillo’s hit BBC television series ‘Great British Railway Journeys’ and ‘Great Continental Railway Journeys’, George Bradshaw’s railway guides were the essential companions for any Victorian or Edwardian traveller. These beautifully illustrated facsimile editions offer a glimpse through the carriage window at a Britain long past.

A highly illustrated history of the Wars of the Roses based on the medieval art of Graham Turner.

The period of civil strife in the second half of the 15th century known as the Wars of the Roses is one of the most dramatic and tumultuous in English history.

Since first being inspired by a visit to Bosworth battlefield over 30 years ago, renowned historical illustrator Graham Turner has built a worldwide reputation for his renderings of this colourful and troubled era. This new study contains a detailed history of the wars alongside a unique and comprehensive collection of more than 120 of his paintings and drawings, many created especially for this book. It provides meticulously researched details of arms, armour, settings and countless other aspects of the period, while bringing to life the human stories behind the turbulent events.
