September competition

 We have 5 copies of The Crimson Shard by Teresa Flavin, for the best answers to this question:

Teresa's post on 8 September was about inspiring treasures she brought
back from her travels and mini-adventures. What is the most memorable
treasure you ever brought home and what did it inspire in you?

And 5 copies of Vlll by H.M.Castor for the best answers to this one:

My motivation in writing VIII was to try and discover why Henry VIII took the extraordinary decisions he did. I wanted to be a fly on the wall inside his mind, if you like! If you could be a fly on the wall inside the mind of any historical figure as he or she lived through a particular event or experience, or took a particular decision, who would it be, what would that experience/decision be, and (briefly) why?

Many thanks to Templar for donating the books. Deadline 7th October.

Sincere apologies to other readers, but these two competitions are open only to readers resident in the UK.
