A great review from the authoritative @lewisCarrollSoc journal of our new book
signalbooks.co.uk/2023/06/al…
‘The story is a delight and is packed tight with puns, assorted wordplay and allusions... a rich, varied and entertaining read.’

Tim Parks' excellent review in the current LRB:
'Honour and the Sword is a wonderfully entertaining collection of paired mini biographies, each story leading, often in the most serpentine and unlikely fashion, to one climactic moment of violence.'

Loving the reference here to Joseph Farrell’s wonderful book ‘Honour and the Sword’ and its relevance to contemporary politics in @CampbellGunn1’s latest column @pressjournal @SignalBooksUK

"We have a prime minister who cannot even tell us how many children he has. Terminological inexactitudes are offered on a daily basis as fact," writes @CampbellGunn1.
