A specially curated box bundle of 3 incredible books from Paterson Joseph's October curation. Beloved actor and author Paterson Joseph joined us in the month of October to curate a fascinating selection of books for our subscribers. We've created a special bundle box to celebrate the curation perfect for yourself or as a gift to another. The first book in this special bundle box is Paterson Joseph's debut novel The Secret Diaries of Ignatius Sancho: A candid and characterful telling of an important and engaging historical character. The Secret Diaries of Charles Ignatius Sancho reimagines the life and times of the maverick Black writer, composer and abolitionist. (RRP £16.99) The box also contains Gretchen Gerzina's Black England: The idea that Britain became a mixed-race country after 1945 is a common mistake. Georgian England had a large and distinctive Black community. Whether prosperous citizens or newly freed slaves, they all ran the risk of kidnap and sale to plantations. Black England tells their dramatic, often moving stories. (RRP £20) The final book in this bundle is Sara Collins' stunning novel The Confessions of Frannie Langton: 1826, and all of London is in a frenzy. Crowds gather at the gates of the Old Bailey to watch as Frannie Langton, maid to Mr and Mrs Benham, goes on trial for their murder. The testimonies against her are damning - slave, whore, seductress. And they may be the truth. But they are not the whole truth. (RRP £8.99) Within this bundle box you'll also receive a seasonal bookmark and a selection of mystery treats from our partner brands!
