Historiographic Fictions

Mr. Beethoven by Paul Griffiths was longlisted for the Walter Scott Prize; the world’s leading prize for historical fiction! Buy this pairing as an excellent introduction to Henningham Family Press books and save 15%!

Paul Griffiths’ Mr. Beethoven and Claire Allen’s The Blackbird represent two of the most innovative approaches to writing about the past.

Griffiths’ vivid evocation of Beethoven’s unrealised visit to America also displays the labours and uncertainties of his research.
Allen oscillates between the story of a girl in the Liverpool Blitz and her life as an elderly carer in 2014. The buildings the characters live and shelter in are beautifully described.
