Angevin England
Richard Mortimer's book covers the reigns of Henry II, his sons Richard the Lionheart and John, and much of that of his gradson Henry III. The period was beset by constant wars with France, frequent troubles with the popes, and baronial rebellions culminating in Magna Carta. But Angevin rule also witnessed the re-establishment of a strengthened royal authority and administration, a burgeoning prosperity, the beginnings of the common law, and the foundations of universities at Oxford and Cambridge. This is not only a history of the politics of the period but of society and culture, and the interactions of the three.

Mortimer
With over half a million copies in print, Mortimer is one of Robert Munsch's most popular and beloved books. Mortimer is the story "...of a little boy who won't go to sleep at night and who drives his family crazy with his rowdiness ...[It] reads as though it was written by a parent driven frantic by one of the contemporary but compulsive stages of childrearing ...[It is] of tremendous appeal to kids and parents at the same stage."--Globe and Mail

Century in Captivity
An enslaved man's life reveals slavery's entanglement with the early prison systemx000D/x000D/On December 21, 1811, Prince Mortimer—an elderly, ailing enslaved man believed to be around eighty-seven years old—was sentenced by a Middletown, Connecticut, judge to life in prison for attempting to poison his enslaver by putting arsenic in his chocolate drink. He spent the next sixteen years confined in Newgate Prison, a former colonial copper mine repurposed as a dungeon to serve as Connecticut's first state prison. When Newgate closed in 1827, Prince and the other inmates were transferred to the newly built Wethersfield State Prison. Though designed with reformist intentions, conditions at Wethersfield remained harsh, and Prince died there in 1834 at the reputed age of 110 in a cell just three and a half feet wide. His life—beginning with his capture as a child in Guinea around 1730, followed by more than eight decades of enslavement and over two decades of imprisonment—offers a rare window into overlapping systems of captivity in early America.x000D/x000D/Despite the paucity of direct source documentation, Denis R. Caron was able to draw on extensive archival research to piece together Prince Mortimer's story by examining the institutions that shaped it. The result is a carefully documented account that will attract readers with such varying interests as African American history, early American law and history, and the development of the American prison system. Through his examination of Prince's life, Caron traces the persistence of institutional unfreedom in a period often associated with liberty and progress.

Every Man his Own Broker
Thomas Mortimer (1730–1810) is chiefly remembered as a writer on economics. Every Man his Own Broker was first published in 1761, and ran to fourteen editions in the next forty years, this reissue being of the fourth edition. It was based on his own experience of the stock market, which in the first half of the eighteenth century was rapidly developing, but also suffered crises in which many speculators lost heavily. Increasing sales of government stock to pay for foreign wars led to concern, and Mortimer gives practical advice to readers to avoid making mistakes by relying on brokers. The book gives a good picture of how the stock market and the London financial world were operating at this time, although Mortimer's antipathy to brokers and jobbers is exaggerated. The book contains the first use of the terms 'bull' and 'bear' to describe types of markets.

Time Traveller's Guide to Regency Britain
'Excellent... Mortimer's erudition is formidable' The TimesA time of exuberance, thrills, frills and unchecked bad behaviour...Ian Mortimer turns to what is arguably the most-loved period in British history - the Regency, or Georgian England.This is the age of Jane Austen and the Romantic poets; the paintings of John Constable and the gardens of Humphry Repton; Britain's military triumphs at Trafalgar and Waterloo. It was perhaps the last age of true freedom before the arrival of the stifling world of Victorian morality.And like all periods in history, it was an age of many contradictions - where Beethoven's thundering Fifth Symphony could premier in the same year that saw Jane Austen craft the delicate sensitivities of Persuasion.This is history at its most exciting, physical, visceral - the past not as something to be studied but as lived experience. This is Ian Mortimer at the height of his time-travelling prowess.'Ian Mortimer has made this kind of imaginative time travel his speciality' Daily Mail
