  1. @Artytweets Great to meet you yesterday. Thanks for all your help. Is this tweet working? D.
  2. Watching Francis Frith series on BBC2? Follow up with my 'Francis Frith Travels' (1985) See derekwilson.com Non-fiction
  3. A splendid TV piece on the Saxon Hoard programme. Comprehensive and scholarly, yet exciting. Well done Dan.
  4. BBC's TV version of the Crusades: good on balancing vision and violence. Pity about the production values.
  5. Paul Sidey good to see you on Wednesday. Good luck with the novel. Old publishes never die; they only metamorphose into authors.
  6. Thanks to Paul Lay and his people for Wed. night's annual HistoryToday bash. The splendid Museum of the Order of St.John made a great venue.
  7. Thought for 2012: It is dangerous to be right when those in power are wrong - Voltaire
  8. Big day coming: 1 September Quercus publish THE PLANTAGENETS and Short Books publish CALAMITIES AND CATASTROPES - both by Derek Wilson
  9. @bible_reading Great to hear about your work. Keep it up.
  10. According to Prof. Fernandez-Armesto The People's Bible (just out) is 'divinely well-informed and devilishly entertaining'!
  11. Just received my latest book - The People's Bible: The Remarkable Story of the King James Version. Another notch on the bedpost!
  12. Hello fans (both of you) and everyone who cares about making history accessible to as many people as possible. Are we winning the battle?
