Review
'This is a wonderful book - a delight to read, fast-moving, informed and passionate in its advocacy. It is a vivid and compelling portrait of the world turned upside down' Sir Roy Strong, Sunday Times 'The research is superb - rich, detailed, and original - and the lives Benjamin Woolley describes are as passionate as the great events of the English Civil War around which they orbit' Adam Nicolson 'Immensely readable ! This book is more than a biography' Independent on Sunday This is a London story, one of grubby back streets, of mass hysteria, of religious bigotry, of a quarter of a million people living out the world of Apocalypse Now. Never before have I felt the kinship between the London of the English Civil War and revolutionary Paris so strongly. The atmosphere is one heady with fear and rumour, twin emotions capable of triggering off virtually anything in an era when the movement of the heavens portended the death of kings and the Second Coming. This is the world of Nicholas Culpeper! This is a wonderful book -- a delight to read, fast-moving, informed and passionate in its advocacy. It is a vivid and compelling portrait of the world turned upside down, of people-power run riot, of a great city dissolving into chaos, a place where the irrational had become the norm as ordinary people responded to Lilly and Culpeper's prophecies and prognostications.' Roy Strong, Sunday Times

‘...history that is both interesting and new.’
