Stories

I was brought up on stories. Books, of course, but also the anecdotes my mum and dad loved to tell. I could happily hear them tell these stories over and over again.

And whether I’m writing about 17^th century Europe or 19^th century industry, I’m always telling stories. Because, no matter what the subject matter, stories are always about people. And we’re all of us interested in people, aren’t we?
