I hope to God my enthusiasm for history will be passed on. My own father's bounding keenness for learning in all its guises has been a major influence on me so I can only hope to do half as good a job.

My Dad is both wonderful and irritating at the same time. He knows massive amounts about history, religion, etc etc. However, getting a straight answer out of him is near to impossible, he used to be a nightmare with homework help.

kids generally love history. My little sister can now recite the whole of Perseus and the Gorgon Slayer, tell the story of Julius Caesar and the oracle, and knows all of the original version of Pandora's box, thanks to long car journeys sitting next to me. The key is to find the interesting stuff
