With insight, humor and fascinating detail, Lacey brings brilliantly to life the stories that made England -- from Ethelred the Unready to Richard the Lionheart, the Venerable Bede to Piers the Ploughman. The greatest historians are vivid storytellers, Robert Lacey reminds us, and in Great Tales from English History, he proves his place among them, illuminating in unforgettable detail the characters and events that shaped a nation. In this volume, Lacey limns the most important period in England's past, highlighting the spread of the English language, the rejection of both a religion and a traditional view of kingly authority, and an unstoppable movement toward intellectual and political freedom from 1387 to 1689. Opening with Chaucer's Canterbury Tales and culminating in William and Mary's "Glorious Revolution," Lacey revisits some of the truly classic stories of English history: the Battle of Agincourt, where Henry V's skilled archers defeated a French army three times as large; the tragic tale of the two young princes locked in the Tower of London (and almost certainly murdered) by their usurping uncle, Richard III; Henry VIII's schismatic divorce, not just from his wife but from the authority of the Catholic Church; "Bloody Mary" and the burning of religious dissidents; Sir Francis Drake's dramatic, if questionable, part in the defeat of the Spanish Armada; and the terrible and transformative Great Fire of London, to name but a few. Here Anglophiles will find their favorite English kings and queens, villains and victims, authors and architects - from Richard II to Anne Boleyn, the Virgin Queen to Oliver Cromwell, Samuel Pepys to Christopher Wren, and many more. Continuing the "eminently readable, highly enjoyable" (St. Louis Post-Dispatch) history he began in volume I of Great Tales from English History, Robert Lacey has drawn on the most up-to-date research to present a taut and riveting narrative, breathing life into the most pivotal characters and exciting landmarks in England's history.Binding Type: Paperback

The best laptop sleeve I've ever owned!
Color: Black, Size: 13-inch for New MacBook Air & Pro
I love this sleeve. Every time I get a new laptop, I buy this exact one. I have one for my work laptop and one for my personal laptop.
It’s made from a high-quality outer shell with an equally nice inner lining that’s velvety soft and keeps expensive devices safe. The sleeve is padded on all sides, so no matter what angle you drop it from (and I have), your laptop stays secure. If you have a favorite bag that doesn’t include a padded laptop compartment, this will quickly become your best friend.
It also features a generous front zippered pocket for chargers, hard drives, and cables. Check out my video to see the capacity—you can easily fit a full-size charger, multiple cables, and external hard drives.
A couple of other things I love about this case: it’s easy to clean (just a damp cloth with a little soap), and it’s incredibly durable. I bought my first one almost 10 years ago, and it’s still going strong. The zipper action is still flawless.
For reference, the sleeve in my video is holding a 2025 13-inch MacBook Air, but I have the same sleeve for a 13-inch MacBook Pro, and it fits both beautifully.
I can’t recommend this sleeve enough.

Sturdy, high quality, and protective
Color: Green, Size: 15-inch for New MacBook Air
This is my third TomToc laptop sleeve. Each time, I bought another, less expensive brand first and returned it. TomToc offers the best protection in a soft-shell sleeve.
Immediately when you open it, you feel the higher quality material and density. It’s not heavy, but it is thick padded and doesn’t easily bend with pressure. The zipper is built to last, sturdy, and easy to operate without that chintzy feeling from cheap zippers.
If you pay attention to the construction, you quickly see why it’s about double in price. There is an inner pad to protect the laptop from not just drops and shock, but also from the zipper. The corners are reinforced and add extra protection. It is definitely worth double the price.

This is a very nice, protective case. The material is thick and cushions the laptop great! Computer fits nice and cozy; great fit. I love the bright orange! I highly recommend.

A sold, attractive, case.
Color: Navy Blue, Size: 13-inch for New MacBook Air & Pro
This case looks great, has a nice, lively color scheme, and seems to be reasonably protective and sturdy. I wouldn’t toss a laptop around with only this as protection, but I feel fairly confident in it for small drops. The fabric is easy to clean and has held up well. You can charge without taking it out of the case thanks to a zipper, and it doesn’t add much bulk, making it quite portable. All in all a good balance of protection, cost, and style.
