James G Clark, The Dissolution of the Monasteries: A New History

 I'm very interested in the period, and this was reviewed as the most important contribution to the subject since 'the Stripping of the Altars', and Eamonn Duffy himself has some nice things to say about it, but it was so in-depth that it was impossible to read straight - it's all-encompassing and incredibly valuable to scholars of the period but not to be read for fun by the likes of me. I've finished putting all the badges on the kids' campfire blankets (except William's), next job is a scrapbook of Cubjam for William. we went to Hampton court on Sunday and after some bickering in the car we had a nice day as a family, bodes well for the holiday in a couple of weeks.
