We are lucky enough to have two competitions this month.
Both are open only to UK residents.
Firstly, our usual one linked to this month's guest. You can win one of five copies of Helen Castor's Joan of Arc: a History, by answering this question in the Comments section below:
"Why do you think Joan of Arc has had more pop songs written about her than any other historical figure?"
Please also copy your answers to me at: readers@maryhoffman.co.uk so I can contact the winners.
Secondly, Flybe have generously offered a pair of tickets for return flights from London Southend Airport to Caen. I wrote about the sights to be found at
Caen and Bayeux. And more about Bayeux
here and
here, both places I visited courtesy of the airline Flybe and the Normandy Tourist Board.
All you have to do to be in with a chance of winning the tickets is Follow us on Twitter and send me an email at: readers@maryhoffman.co.uk to say you have done so. We are @history_girls. We will pick the winner out of a hat and notify you by email.
Closing date for both competitions is 7th November.
