    I’m heading to London this Christmas with my daughter-a history major-and am reading Ackroyd’s histories.
    I am so happy I found this!!

    I absolutely love Peter Ackroyd, especially his biography of London, one of my all time favourites.
    It's good to know that I'm not the only one ;)

    Albion is absolutely the best! I teach high school English in California and it would be my fervent wish is that the entire English Department would read this book. I use excerpts from this book when I teach the Origins of the English Language unit. Thanks for covering this wonderful author.

    I have not read anything by him but I love all British Welch Scottish or Irish. Be it historical fiction or historical. I will definitely look for his books. I think I have in one of my many bookcases his book on Alfred Hitchcock and his book in Charlie Chaplin. Now I want Blake and dickens too

    I’m always recommending Eden’s Outcasts to fellow biography lovers. Extremely vivid storytelling.

    I've never read a Peter Ackroyd book but sometime I'd like to read some English history and he seems like a good person to start with, along with probably Ruth Goodman and Ian Mortimer.

    So glad to have found this! I have been wanting to read Peter Ackroyd but wanted to see/read about other readers' stance about his writing. New subscriber here! I really enjoy your videos! Glad to have found your channel, it is quite refreshing to find a booktuber discuss non-fiction, as I love history books. Definitely will pick up Albion, as well as his Venice book. Cheers :)

    I have two of his books at home, but still have to read the. I think one of those is about ghost stories and the second the biography of Wilkie Collins ( if I’m not mistaken.)

    Thank you for fueling my habits. Just bought five of his books after watching. 😅

    I've just finished his biography of Shakespeare and have read a few other his other books that I've enjoyed. He's a solid writer and researcher.

    Have you read Lee Jackson Dickensland about the places that inspired him. Tracey Haworth.

      No I haven't - but I've looked it up and definitely looks like a book I would love! Very much up my street! Thanks for recommending this 🙂
