Companion to British History

The Companion to British History (ISBN 978-0-9560983-0-6) is a single-volume encyclopaedic reference work "bigger than a foundation stone, longer than the Bible" (Daily Telegraph) written by the sole hand of Charles Arnold-Baker and originally published by his son Henry von Blumenthal in 1996. It was described by The Spectator as "arguably one of the most remarkable books ever written". (see: http://www.spectator.co.uk/books/3299556/oneman-triumph.thtml) Later published by Routledge and most recently (November 2008) by Loncross Denholm Press (see http://www.telegraph.co.uk/comment/columnists/simonheffer/3918950/Christmas-is-the-time-to-revisit-our-obsession-with-the-past.html), the story of how the book came to be published became the subject of a feature article in the Daily Telegraph on May 30th., 2006 - see http://www.telegraph.co.uk/arts/main.jhtml?xml=/arts/2006/05/30/bahistory.xml.
