I don't know the author of Sarum either but if it's who I think it 
is he also wrote a book about London (called London I believe) which 
is the story of the in habitants of the area from the neolithic era 
up to the present. Of course it is daunting in the fact that it 
makes OoP look like a little light reading.>>>

I own and enjoyed Sarum. The author is called Edward Rutherfurd. 
But, I just read a review of London on Amazon.co.UK which suggested 
that you should only read one or the other as they are actually very 
similar. "In London, he has a short stubby person build a catherdral 
and guess what? In Sarum, he has a short stubby person build 
Stonehenge. Augh" A reader.

I love historical novels, and my favourite series is about a Roman 
informer called Marcus Didius Falco by Lindsey Davis. Still, if it's 
non-fiction you're after, I'd second Christopher Hill.
