Reviews

‘A spectacular book with a wide range of insights to the 17th Century’
*Terry Jones*

Ereira is justly proud… situates Britannia in its political context, connecting it to Charles II’s military purposes and need to crush rebellion'
*Guardian*

‘Compelling... a terrific subject for a biography... Ereira’s enthusiasm is infectious [and his] generous biography conveys both the irrepressible energy and the shifty elusiveness of Ogilby.’
*TLS*

Britannia was created by a cunning Scot, to help the monarch’s absolute ascendancy over the whole of Britain. The secret is finally out.'
*Scotsman*
