That's all for this week! See you on Monday, when we'll look at a sinister WWII ghost story. In the meantime, take it away, boys:
I like the idea of the Sogdians. I've come across them before, and always like obscure cultures and kingdoms. They should be better known. The strange sounds from the sea was a fascinating read. I'd like to know what the Russians encountered in their subs. And the stationers' cards article baffled me in one point: the writer states that Hannah Nicholson's card calls her a 'stationer', and that is incorrect. Why? 'Stationer to Her Royal Highness the Princess of Wales' seems correct to me. Anyway, another good collection of articles...
