Launched with fizz
WHAT’S THE COLLECTIVE NOUN FOR HISTORIANS? The launch of Bettany Hughes’s captivating new book, Seven Wonders of the Ancient World, at Daunt’s in Marylebone prompted the question, with Kate Williams, Lucy Worsley, Dan Snow and Hallie Rubenhold catching up over (most superior) champagne. The fizz was a very generous gesture of solidarity since, according to the Bookseller’s annual list of the 50 top-selling titles, we’ll all be out of a job unless we bone up on air-fryers.
A broad church
the Great, considered to be.
