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.
