Eleanor

I loved this beautiful, elegaic, honest and compelling book - a modern-day pilgrimage walking in the footsteps of one of the great forgotten queens. This is history as it should be done, connecting the real people of the past with the people we are now.

Alice Loxton is one of Britain’s most exciting young historians. She has a loyal following of 3 million across Instagram, TikTok and X. She is an experienced writer and broadcaster, as seen on Sky Arts, Channel 5, the BBC and History Hit.

Loxton is the author of the acclaimed book UPROAR!, which was longlisted for Blackwell’s Book of the Year. Her second book, Eighteen, was an instant Sunday Times bestseller, was named Blackwell’s Book of the Year and was shortlisted for Waterstones Book of the Year.

Eleanor is her third book.
