We have two lovely History Girl titles to give away this month:
To win one of five hardback copies of A.L. Berridge's Into the Valley of Death, please answer this question:
‘We all know about heroic victories – but which do you consider to be the most heroic defeat by anyone at any time? The Alamo? The Warsaw Ghetto Uprising? Or something else?’
To win one of three hardback copies of Jane Borodale's The Knot, answer this one:
'Just tell us your favourite herb and why, in a sentence or two...'
As usual the competitions are open only to readers in the United Kingdom. The closing date for for this one is 7th June. Just leave your answers in the Comments section of this post.
And Good Luck!
