Ross King is a superb history storyteller.
He will be talking to me here at the Author Archive soon about his new book 'The Shortest History of Ancient Rome'.
His previous book is tells of a different dimension of Italian history. .'The Bookseller of Florence' is all about the surprising trade in manuscripts and books in Renaissance Italy.
Adrian Levy tells David about his visit to the Jade mines of Myanmar and the inhuman conditions that he found there.
This visit was 20 years ago and one can only hope that conditions have improved.
