Domesday Book is one of the most famous documents in English history – and arguably, in world history. Now available in one volume, here is the complete, authoritative translation from the original Latin of Domesday Book, together with an index of places and a glossary of terms used. Domesday was compiled in a matter of months in 1086, at the end of William the Conqueror’s life. According to a first-hand account by Robert, Bishop of Hereford, those sent out by the king ‘… made a survey of all England; of the lands in each of the counties; of the possessions of each of the magnates, their lands, their habitations, their men’. The detailed picture of the English landscape it offers has no equal in any country, while it is valuable not only in the picture it allows local historians to construct of their area in the eleventh century but also as the foundation document of the national archives.

In a companion volume to his earlier books, Geoffrey Martin returns
to St Helena, a small island made famous by Napoleon but largely
unknown ever since. Here are more stories about the islanders and
the other characters who have ended up here, whether sent by the
United Kingdom to try and administer the island or just by fate.
The islanders remain as keen as ever to maintain their own way of
life and independence, and avoid the interference of their
technical masters overseas. These are gentle and light hearted
stories about the island and its inhabitants whether human or a
giant tortoise named Jonathan. The author captures both the spirit
and atmosphere of the place. Like revisiting an old friend this new
collection will once again take you back to a very small island in
the middle of a very large ocean.
