diaster!, turns out my dad lready has the pillars of the earth, and my auntie has already bought him the sequel for christmas, darn.

Thanks alot for the susgestions, Pillars of the Earth sounds right up his street because he also loves architecture aswell as history so a book based around the history of a church being built sounds perfect. However i may get a few from the list you guys have mentioned as they all seem pretty cheap on amazon, thanks alot everybody

As this is my first post sorry if this is in the worng place: Hi, im struggling to find a good present for my dad, he really likes histroical novels, ones with lots of good history interweaved around a story or plotline (even better if its a true story), it could possibly even be written in the style of a first person account. He is not particulary fussy about what period of or event form history it is, as long as it is an accurate account. Anybody aware of any bestsellers along these lines or just personal recommendations, any susgestions welcome, Thanks in advance.
