ABOUT CAROLINE SHENTON
Freelance historian, archivist and member of the UK Government\'s Reviewing Committee on the Export of Works of Art and Objects of Cultural Interest. My first popular history book, The Day Parliament Burned Down (OUP, 2012) won Political Book of the Year in 2013. Mary Beard described it as \'microhistory at its absolute best\'. My second book Mr Barry\'s War, was one of the 50 Best Books of 2016 in The Daily Telegraph and was chosen by Lucy Worsley as her Book of the Year in BBC History Magazine. During 2017 I was Political Writer in Residence at Gladstone\'s Library. My third book, National Treasures: Saving The Nation\'s Art in WW2, was published by John Murray in Nov 2021, and was Book of the Year for London Historians.
