A wonderful group portrait of an eccentric and ill-starred dynasty. Expertly handling the humorous words and unwise deeds of several generations of Verneys, Adrian Tinniswood breathes life into the turbulent history of an entire century
Ross King, author of "Michelangelo and the Pope's Ceiling" and "Brunelleschi's Dome"
Adrian Tinniswood's 'The Verneys' takes us on a fascinating grand tour through a world turned upside down. It is an intimate, engaging, and richly rewarding book, showing the seventeenth century in all its splendor and brutality
David King, author of "When the World Came to Town" and "Finding Atlantis"
Wonderfully engaging...Tinniswood has brought the Verneys to life in robustly vivid style
Guardian
A marvellous history. Intimate and compelling, it's an exciting tale of adventure on the high seas and a family torn apart by civil war
