Librarian Note: There is more than one author in the Goodreads database with this name.

Steve Harrison was born in Yorkshire, England, grew up in Lancashire, migrated to New Zealand and eventually settled in Sydney, Australia, where he lives with his wife.

As he juggled careers in shipping, insurance, online gardening and the postal service, Steve wrote short stories, sports articles and a long running newspaper humour column called HARRISCOPE: a mix of ancient wisdom and modern nonsense.

Excellent and gripping account of all the Romanov Tsars through 400 years of Russian history. Montefiore really does excel at this type of history book and this one - like all of his others - is highly recommended.
