Shipments to the USA & Canada: Lion covers the ten or so years following the withdrawal of the Persians from Greece. Its heroes are the young Athenian general Cimon and Xanthippus’ son Pericles, beginning to make his way in public life. It is a well written, generally exciting adventure story, achieved without major insult to the historical record. It's unusual for me not to rave enthusiastically about a Conn Iggulden novel, but to me this was not nearly his best effort.I was born in the normal way in 1971, and vaguely remember half-pennies and sixpences. I have written for as long as I can remember: poetry, short stories and novels. It’s what I always wanted to do and read English at London University with writing in mind. I taught English for seven years and was Head of English at St. Gregory’s RC High School in London by the end of that period. I have enormous respect for those who still labour at the chalk-face. In truth, I can’t find it in me to miss the grind of paperwork and initiatives. I do miss the camaraderie of the smokers’ room, as well as the lessons where their faces lit up as they understood what I was wittering on about.

Surprisingly i found the chapters in Athens to be the least compelling as most of the time was focused on Pericles helping his friend with his play and dealing with his marriage to Thetis instead of exploring the politics and daily life of Athens.
