Medieval England
Medieval England is the third title in a series of adult colouring books on historical themes (see also 'Ancient Rome' and 'Ancient Egypt'). The Medieval period or Middle Ages in England can be separated into three distinct periods: the Early Medieval period (around 600 - 1066), the High Medieval (1066 - 1272), and the Late Medieval period (1272 - 1485), with notable events within these such as the Norman invasion, the Angevin Empire, the Hundred Years War and the War of the Roses. In this book, Hilary and John Robert Travis present a 60 historically accurate annotated doodles for creative colouring which also look pictorially at aspects of Medieval life, including religion; fashions; food; entertainment; art and architecture.
Roman Body Armour

Ancient Egypt
Ancient Egypt captures the imagination like few other historical places or periods. Its art and buildings decorated in bold, bright colours are instantly recognisable the world over. The Egyptian civilization lasted for over 3 millennia, and despite periods of foreign rule, its art remained unchanged until after the death of Cleopatra. Ancient Egypt was an almost obsession of the intrepid antiquarians of the 18th and 19th century, and has been used as a theme for many cinematic blockbusters since the arrival of film and television. Few could deny the iconic imagery of the Hollywood star Elizabeth Taylor in the epic film, "Cleopatra." In this book, Hilary and John Robert Travis present a selection of historically accurate annotated outlines for creative adult colouring.

Then tragedy strikes, making everyone realise exactly what is important in their lives...
Hadrian
The height of the Roman Empire�s power was during the reign of Hadrian. While endless predecessors and their rivals fought for expansion, Hadrian focused on sustaining his domain and his people�s livelihood. Readers will learn how even such an internal focus can lead to tragedy, specifically by intersecting religion with absolute statesmanship, as the Bar Kokhbah Revolt demonstrated. Regardless, conducting massive city-building projects, fortifying the borders of the empire, and other feats christen Hadrian as the third of the Five Good Emperors. Santillian and Morgan�s exhaustive research culminates in a comprehensive examination of all that Hadrian left in his wake.
