Jane Eyre is my favourite book of all time. I loved Miriam Halahmy 'The Bronte Girl' and her post for The Time Tunnellers gives some fascinating insights into how her tribute to the work of Charlotte, Emily and Anne came into being ...

Today is #AnneFrankDay . On Monday 17th June I am proud to be working with the Anne Frank Trust to deliver an event for schools where we will be marking #RefugeeWeek . It's free. Please join us. You can sign up here. forms.office.com/pages/responseβ¦
I always remember #AnneFrank βs birthday. My best friend growing up shared her birthday and my mum was born in the same year. Her diary was a massive influence on me as a young girl. Just realised I no longer have a copy so will go and buy one today in tribute. β€οΈβ€οΈβ€οΈ
So lovely to be able to take a peek at how young readers see my characters. This is the Viscountess Montague from my #GunpowderPlot story, 'Black Powder' Thanks so much for sharing πππ§¨
#OTD 10th June 1719: Battle of Glen Shiel (Jacobite army defeated by British forces).
The next significant #Jacobite uprising, seeking to place the Stuarts back on the throne, came in 1745, ending at Culloden. Check out our The Time Tunnellers video on that! youtube.com/watch?v=9FvT3oβ¦
I am very excited to to dust off my tartan cloak and take #TheReluctantRebel on the road again tomorrow. Entry to Highland Folk Museum is free, and my talk is on at 1pm - I'll be chatting all things #Jacobites !

Another historical cracker from the quill - or perhaps I should say stylus - of Tony Bradman This time set in Roman Britannia ...
Check out this brilliant short video Tony Bradman did for The Time Tunnellers about the personal inspiration behind his wartime story Operation Banana shortlisted for Historical Assoc #YoungQuills award. A reminder of the sacrifices made on the Home Front too #DDay80 youtu.be/acgnjc1UIAU?feβ¦

A day spent basking in stories from the past - from an ancient Roman child's shoe and archers setting sail to fight at Agincourt, to dominoes made and first introduced to England by Napoleonic prisoners-of-war, all on a visit to the wonderful Porchester Castle English Heritage
