SOMETIMES

IN  BATH

 

Charles Nevin's acclaimed history of  England's oldest resort through story  and 2000 years.

Marvel at Old King Bladud, the city's founder who also thought he could fly.  Read an exclusive interview with Alfred the Great,  Bath's saviour. Join Jane Austen's Mr Bennet on a very risky day out.  Meet the team excavating the Great Roman Bath.

Bow to Beau Nash and the Emperor Haile Selassie and travel with the winsome Wife of Bath.  Discover - possibly  - the truth about the famous Bath Oliver biscuit and Bun. All this and some rigorously factual background as well!​​​​​​​​​​​​​

”Charles Nevin writes with a rare erudition, charm and whimsy, illuminating a national character that has so many of us puzzled. Of course Bladud attempted flight, and of course Mr Bennet met Mrs Bennet with bodice ripped. But without Mr Nevin, we may never have known.”  Charles Laurence
