Thanks for wetting my appetite. I have bought Burke at Waterloo and am enjoying it. Makes more sense after reading your article about the escape from Elba. Widens my history knowledge. Thanks, Rita
You’ve just reminded me that my favourite childhood author, Geoffrey Trease, wrote a book called “Violet for Bonaparte”. Most of my knowledge of post-Reformation history comes from Trease, as I was made to give up history at school at the age of thirteen.

I love that his ship was called Inconstant….
