Jane I recall you adding books to your tbr section about Napoleon. I thought of you when I read this item on cnn.com (thought you might be interested ) Did you happen to see this? https://www.cnn.com/style/article/napoleon-waterloo-hat-auction-trnd/index.html

No, but how fascinating! I never knew there were Napoleon hats in existence. Thanks very much for that.
My interest in Napoleon is secondary to my usual Victorian preoccupations, but it's definitely an interest. In the 90s we lived in THE Waterloo--it was our first family home and the oldest house we've ever owned. We could see the Lion Monument on the battlefield from our attic windows as a little blip a couple of miles away (the battle was actually fought in Braine l'Alleud).
I have written a "concept story" for a series set in the Napoleonic War era, but it'll have to wait as I don't think I can cope with three series at once. So my additions to my TBR often have research in mind...
