Crime and Punishment By Nicholas Reardon ISBN-13 :  9781874192749 Crime and Punishment in and about the Cotswold Hills This fully illustrated colour book shows the reader in Photographs and Sketches old time punishments such as stocks, whipping posts and lock-ups along with stories of murdered Kings and Court Jesters, Highwaymen and War Crimes committed long ago, when the Cotswold hills were not so peaceful.

THE COTSWOLDS  ISBN 9781874192794 The Cotswolds: Spectacular Images Showing the Ever-changing Seasons Nicholas Reardon REVIEW: "The Cotswolds" which I was fortunate to have won from Goodreads Giveaways is a breathtaking exploration of the natural beauty of the countryside throughout the seasons.
