Due to circumstances beyond our control, we were unable to bring you our scheduled guest yesterday. Very sorry. I did not find this out till 25th.

(But we did have a lovely post from Sue Price about policemen in Victorian Music Hall songs).

So, we don't have our expected September competition.

But  Elizabeth Chadwick has stepped in to save the day and is kindly offering one precious copy of her new book, The Winter Crown, to the best answer to this question:

"If Eleanor of Aquitaine time-travelled to your doorstep,  name three things you would show her/do with her for the day"

(Well, it's not a question but you know what we mean.)

Please use the Comments below for your suggestion and we'll choose the best. Closing date 7th October.

And very unusually, just for this month, the competition is open internationally.

September Competition

Open to UK residents only, we're afraid.

If you read Robert Low's post yesterday about rules for writing historical fiction, you will be well primed to answer this question:

"What is your favourite rule to be followed - or broken - in writing historical fiction?"

We have five copies of Robert's latest novel The Lion Rampant to give away to those who respond with the best answers.

Closing date October 10th, as our administrator is away till then.

Leave your answers in the Comments below.

And Good Luck!
