|genre= Confident ReadersHistory|summary= As the author of the Historia Regum Britanniae (History of the Kings of Britain), written in 1136, Geoffrey of Monmouth is commonly recognized as one of the first British historians. His book told – or is supposed to have told - the story of the British monarchy during the Dark Ages, from the arrival of the Trojan Brutus, grandson of Aeneas, up to the seventh century AD when the Anglo-Saxons had taken control of Britain. Being virtually the only work of its kind at the time, it proved very influential, and became well-known throughout western Europe as one of the great works of medieval literature as the first retelling of the story of King Arthur, Lear and Cymbeline. Shakespeare was forever in his debt with regard to the two latter. |amazonuk=<amazonuk>1445662744</amazonuk>}}{{newreview|author=Denzil Meyrick|title=Well of the Winds (DCI Daley)|rating=4|genre=Crime|summary=It's tough being not a geniushappy time for DCI Jim Daley.
