A delightful, thoughtful and original new way to understand England's history'I couldn't put it down' - Cerys Matthews, BBC Radio 6 'Catherine Clarke uses an eclectic mix of verse — satirical, scabrous, tragic, lyrical — to tell the English national story… the emotional intimacy of poetry (aided by Clarke’s careful, historically informed analysis) offers valuable insights into great historical events' - Katherine Harvey, The TimesThis is the history of England told in a new way: glimpsed through twenty-five remarkable poems written down between the eighth century and today, which connect us directly with the nation’s past, and the experiences, emotions and imaginations of those who lived it.

These poems open windows onto wildly different worlds – from the public to the intimate, from the witty to the savage, from the playful to the wistful. They take us onto battlefields, inside royal courts, down coal mines and below stairs in great houses. Their creators, witnesses to events from the Great Fire of London to the Miners’ Strike, range from the famous to the forgotten, yet each invites us into an immersive encounter with their own time. A History of England in 25 Poems is a portal to the past; a constant companion, filled with vivid voices and surprising stories alongside familiar landmarks, and language that speaks in new ways on each reading. Catherine Clarke’s knowledge and passion take us inside the words and the moments they capture, with thoughtful insights, humour and new perspectives on how the nation has dreamed itself into existence – and who gets to tell England’s story.

Ultra Luxurious and Washable
Size: 50''x60'', Color: Ombré Hazel Brown
I’ve never written a review this fast. This throw is the height of luxury, style, comfort, feel and appearance. I used on our bed, only on my side as my husband has different temp needs. It doesn’t shed. I only needed the 50x60 inches, but it’s available in 50x80. What clinched the purchase for me was that it is washable and can be tumbled dried. It’s the perfect weight. Not too light and not too heavy. (Goldilocks would have loved it.) It looks and feels like real fur! It’s pricier than other throws but it’s 100% what I wanted and beyond my expectations. 5+ Stars!!!!

Beautiful and comforting!
Size: Throw(50" X 60"), Color: Tie Dye Brown
Love, Love, Love this throw! I love the feel, coloring, and wearability! When my Tortie Cat lays on it, it is hard to see her! This is warm, soft, and Beautiful! Looks as good today as it did when I got it for Christmas! The Unhide Marshmallow brand was my favorite, before, and I do still like, I hope this washes up as well as they do. It is heavier, But very comforting!

Nice blanket
Size: Twin(60" X 80"), Color: Tie Dye Charcoal
My partner and I fight over this blanket. It’s so soft and comfortable. I wish I got a bigger size. It’s a little bit darker overall than the photo. I believe I got the black/gray color. It’s a good weight, not too heavy but not too light.
