Historical fiction is one of the most popular genres that we stock. Hilary Mantel’s Wolf Hall Trilogy, charting the rise and fall of Thomas Cromwell, has been a critical and commercial success. However, that’s just the tip of the iceberg. With fantastic authors as diverse as Bernard Cornwell and Philippa Gregory, and books covering the full sweep of our shared past, we have a great selection of historical fiction for you to enjoy. This collection also includes our selection of war and western books, by authors like Cormac McCarthy.

Bernard Cornwell is a legend amongst historical fiction writers. He’s just returned to his most famous literary creation Richard Sharpe, hero of the Napoleonic wars, memorably portrayed on screen by Sean Bean. If you’ve not had the pleasure of Sharpe’s company, then The Sharpe Series 5 Book Collection is the box set for you. This collection of prequels contains Sharpe’s first five amazing adventures. Sharpe’s Tiger, Sharpe’s Triumph, and Sharpe’s Fortress take place during his service in India. Sharpe’s Trafalgar puts him in the middle of the famous battle, and Sharpe’s Prey sends him on a secret mission to Copenhagen.

We also sell many collections of The Last Kingdom, also by Bernard Cornwell, which is now a hit Netflix series. It follows Uhtred of Bebbanburg, a Saxon who was raised as a Viking, as he lives through the events surrounding the birth of England as a nation from various warring tribes and kingdoms. It’s rich in description and historical detail while never letting up the pace. It’s perfect for fans of the TV show Vikings and early history.

If you’re a fan of The Wars of the Roses and Tudor intrigue, then you simply must read Phillippa Gregory. She’s most famous for writing The Other Boleyn Girl, but that’s merely the tip of the iceberg. Gregory’s fifteen Plantaganet and Tudor Novels span over a century of history, from 1430 to 1587. The Cousins’ War collects six books from this saga, five of which were adapted into the TV series The White Queen and The White Princess. Get the full story in this great value collection.

No people shaped the modern world like the Romans did. In Conn Iggulden’s Emperor series, you’ll find out about its culture through the prism of the life of one great man: Julius Caeser. The series takes you from his ascent to political power, to his assassination, and beyond. Featuring great battles and impeccable historical research, these thrilling books will finally let you see what it’s like to be a Roman from the inside out. For the barbarians among us, you may prefer the Conquerer series, which follows Genghis Khan and his descendants as they cut a swathe through Europe.

At Books2Door, we stock a variety of bestsellers for adults and children alike. We have a large Crime, Thrillers and Mystery Books collection and a growing Science Fiction, Fantasy and Horror section. We also stock bestselling authors from Agatha Christie to Roald Dahl. Make sure you keep checking back regularly, as we’re always getting new books and box sets into stock.
