A little research

When I sat down to write my pitch for the book that was to become What is Myrrh Anyway? I thought, 'Yeah, Christmas. I know a bit about that.'

But now that I'm nearly done writing it I realise how little I actually knew for certain and, as a result, how much research I was going to have to do.


These are just some of the books I've been using for that selfsame research. So, when you finally hold the finished volume in your hand just bear in mind how much work went into writing it.
