The Time Traveller's Guide to Restoration Britain

The format makes history so vivid and accessible, but I wonder if the author considered other storytelling approaches. Was this idea born out of a desire to make history feel immediate?

The detailed descriptions brought the era to life, but I’m curious how much research went into capturing those sensory details. Did the author rely on diaries, paintings, or other sources?

The book made the past feel so tangible, but I wonder how much creative interpretation was involved. Can readers trust the details as precise historical recreation?
