What other authors do I like - most of them! Not Doherty, as he usually annoys me. But Sharon Newman, Candace Robb, Margaret Frazer I adore, there is an interesting series set in 6th century Byzantium by the Mary Reed and Eric Mayer, I think. Albert Noyes has two in about sixth or seventh western Roman empire that are not great, but its hard to find anything in that era. Michael Jecks. Kate Sedley, tho I have not read her new series. Have you? Any suggestions?
I have a few books with wonderful pictures of herb gardens and love looking at them. I would so love to have a knot garden (sigh.)

When I knew him, Warren Hollister was a most inspiring professor. He obviously worked hard at making his lectures interesting, and would sometimes include music or art from the period. Sadly, I learned much later from Sharon Newman (at a lecture) that he had become much burnt out.
Do you not care for Ellis Peters? I love her, and have most of her books, including those not in the Cadfael series, but I know some people think her too 'sweet.' I agree Cadfael is unlikely for the period, but she writes so well...

Thank you for adding mine to your 'interesting libraries." I had put yours in just yesterday!
We do seem to share some interests - ancient history, medieval to Stuart history, historical mysteries. By the way, Warren Hollister "Medieval Europe: a Short History" was my European History professor long ago at UCSB!
