| The people's queen in Vanora Bennett's new novel is Alice Perrers, and it is not unfair to describe her as a medieval Essex girl. An orphan and a commoner, she rose, thanks to her native wit and the accumulation of powerful men, to a position of wealth and influence as the scandalous mistress of Edward III.

The Story of England By Michael Wood
The Story of England By Michael Wood "Michael has brought to life, in the written word, the full panoply of history of this small community in south Leicestershire through almost 2,000 years of English history. Of course, there are a few leaps of faith where a couple of facts have been joined up without perhaps having all the intervening pieces, but Michael admits this sometimes is necessary to cover the broader picture."
