I bought this month's BOTM by complete accident. I tried (twice!) to buy Ormrod's biography of Edward III, as part of my ongoing quest to work through the high middle ages in England. But I ordered this by mistake so might as well have read it. And it was outstanding - it's such pleasure to read proper historical analysis with succinct conclusions. The central framing, that segments Edward III's reign into three phases, is clear and very helpful to any understanding. I'm not going to bother with the biography now. I wish I hadn't bothered with that of John of Gaunt, where the author has simple regurgitated her reading  notes. Sigh.
