Reviews

[Lynn · Rating 5 out of 5]

I love David Stevenson. I love his analytical approach to history and his academic - but not dry or stuffy - writing style. Plus several of the people he consulted or quotes were my professors at Aberdeen. Aside from all that, there really is very little that's more fascinating than 17th century Scotland.
