Discover history at your finger tips. While historical fiction allows you to take in the grand sweep of history through the lens of an intimate story, there’s so much that the genre leaves out. The true scale of the passing of time is, more often than not, best addressed in by the greatest of our history writers. We don’t need contrived plots or imagined dialogues between the Greats of our history in order to really delve into the past – all we need is a gifted writer who knows how to breathe life into history through their prose.
Thankfully, we have all that and more! As one of the larger sections here at East Neuk Books, we pride ourselves in carrying a large stock of history books ranging through all major periods of our nation’s past. Are you looking to do some research on the great clans of old? A great number of our books will help you do just that. Searching for glimpses into Scottish history before and after the Unification with England? No problem! Hoping for a deep dive into the personalities and histories of larger-than-life figures like Robert the Bruce of Mary, Queen of Scots? If so, you’ve come to the right place.
We live and breathe Scottish history at East Neuk Books, and nothing makes us happier than helping locals rediscover their past. They say that you can’t know the future without knowing the past, and that has never been easier with the flood of great writers and academics doing create research and writing on all periods of our history.
So no matter if you’re looking for a glimpse into a particular decade or a brisk tour of the north’s great history, it’s never been simpler to find great volumes or buy history books online. This weekend, curl up with your next fantastic read and get to know the major figures of our history!
