|author=Matthew Lewis
|title=Henry III: The Son of Magna Carta
|rating=4.5
|genre=Biography
|summary= For a monarch whose reign over England of fifty-six years was unequalled until the nineteenth century, Henry III remains curiously little-known. Nobody could claim that he was a particularly outstanding or successful ruler, but the fact that he held his throne for so long in an unstable age was no mean achievement in itself.

|author=Amy Licence
|summary= This memoir could so easily have become a sentimental tribute to Grenville's mother. But somehow, the author has managed to make it so much more than that.

|author=Robert Crawford
|title= Young Eliot: From St Louis to The Waste Land
|rating= 5
|genre= Biography
|summary= Did T.S. Eliot like ice-cream? I should really be asking, of course, whether ''Tom'' liked ice-cream, since Robert Crawford in his marvellous biography insists on bringing us into intimate and personal contact with this so closed and impersonal of poets. For many of us, to wonder what this literary giant's favourite flavour of ice-cream was seems a somehow unsuitable curiosity – irreverent or frivolous even – as if to think about his taste for such ordinary pleasures would distract from the appreciation for his very momentous achievements in poetry. It is, however, Crawford's aim to make these kinds of commonplace aspects of T.S. Eliot's life and personality much more familiar to us, as he draws our attention to the poet's childhood years and youth.
