Adult DS (22) enjoys factual (well non fiction rather as sometimes there is an element of creative thinking in history tbf) history books.

His most prominent interest is around the time of Alexander the Great though I think he will have read pretty much everything he wants to about that.

So, I'm essentially looking for some other area of world history (not UK specific) that he might enjoy.

Just as a stocking filler so not looking for a beautiful box set or anything.

I know very little about history and no idea about time periods so I'm useless! And yes I've asked him for ideas previously and got nowhere.

Any ideas gratefully received 😊

Second this and indeed all of Mary Renault's books. They are wonderful!

She alson wrote a factual book 'The Nature of Alexander.'

"David Mitchell’s unruly is about the English kings. It’s very funny and irreverent , a bit different from most history books."

I enjoyed this- but I was a bit disappointed too. I think I would have preferred a little less humour and a little more history....
