@BloomsburyHist @KatjaHeath It's highly unlikely that there's a more readable academic book published this year. The anecdotes in each chapter make this a yarn up there with other great Aussie spinners of stories, except this one has been meticulously researched! Watch out for the various signing dates.

@KatjaHeath Great photo 😂.

@lucindanicolls @KatjaHeath I had a mate at Golf today, who gave the book to his 90 year old father, say the old man loved it. He called the royals rogues 😂 . When you can write such a thoroughly researched academic book that is delightful to the public, you're a wonder. Well done Katja.

1/3 What can a damaged, seemingly ordinary sabre tell us about diplomacy?
On 3 July I'll be speaking at the ANU Mongolia Institute about Prince Bambar's sabre, a diplomatic gift awarded by Catherine II and later presented to the Qianlong Emperor.

1/ During a recent visit to Pavlovsk, I came across this engraving by J.A. Roy in the collection of Empress Maria Feodorovna. The sitter, Prince Alexander Kurakin, looked visibly injured. Since portraits of wounded or sick people are rare, I decided to investigate.

@KagimuDrImran Bullshit. I had 500 applicants. it depends on the market. Against 500 ya better have something better than I want the money. And we can smell bullshit a mile away.

@KatjaHeath @EmmaGleadhill I like the weed irony, we never learn. Be good to hear about other "interesting" anecdotes. The article alluded to them but details please 😁

I have a soft spot for children's books. I had a wonderful time at Pamela Allen's exhibition at the State Library of NSW, and especially liked her images of Sydney.

1/2 New article published! Co-written with
@EmmaGleadhill This piece traces how Napoleon’s wish to rest beneath Australian acacias was replaced by the weeping willow as a symbol of mourning, and how this botanical myth spread across Australia and back to St Helena.
