|title=The Poisoner: The Life and Crimes of Victorian England's Most Notorious Doctor
|author=Stephen Bates
|rating=4.5
|genre=True Crime
|summary=Just to fend off any accusations of a spoiler, the fate of Dr William Palmer is probably just as well-known to those with an interest in the subject as that of President Kennedy or Princess Diana. Stephen Bates’ account of ‘the Prince of Poisoners’ starts off, therefore, with an account of the proceedings on 14 June 1856 when over 30,000 people gathered outside Stafford Prison to see him keep an appointment with the hangman after being found guilty of murder.

|title=Remember Me Like This
|summary=University Challenge questions frequently have me stumped, but it’s ones on Greek mythology that highlight a gap in my knowledge and make me yearn for the classical education that I never had. Who or what is Erato? Should I be concerned if I meet Kerberos? And why did a delivery company decide to call itself Hermes? Consequently, I had high hopes for ''Greek Myths: Stories of Sun, Stone and Sea'', a collection of ten myths retold for children.
