The world known as the ` Dark Ages`, often seen as a time of barbarism, was in fact the crucible in which modern Europe would be created. Chris Wickham`s acclaimed history shows how this period, encompassing people such as Goths, Franks, Vandals, Byzantines, Arabs, Anglo-Saxons & Vikings, was central to the development of our history & culture. From the collapse of the Roman Empire to the establishment of new European states, & from Ireland to Constantinople, the Baltic to the Mediterranean, this landmark work makes sense of a time of invasion & turbulence, but also of continuity, creativity & achievement. ...

The delightful tale of a young couple who in the late 1970s, on impulse, became the new landlords of the most remote, bleak & lonely pub
- The Tan Hill Inn
- located in the bleak landscape of the Yorkshire Dales. Having seen an article in the newspaper about the pub`s search for a new manager, they arrived just three weeks later as the new landlords of the The Tan Hill Inn. It is a wild, wind-swept place, set alone in a sea of peat bog & heather moorland that stretches unbroken as far as the eye can see. With only sheep & grouse for company, their closest neighbour was four miles away & the nearest town twelve. They had no experience of licensed trade or running a pub, no knowledge of farming & a complete inability to understand the dialect of the sheep farmers who were their local customers. Eager, well-meaning, but in over their heads, our two heroes embarked on a disaster-strewn career that somehow also turned into a lifelong love affair with the Dales. The Inn at the Top is an entertaining ramble around the Inn, the breath-taking Dales countryside & a remarkable array of local characters, giving an insight into life in a very different time & place.
