I loved Costain as a kid. Now that I'm old, maybe I should go through his work again. Although I think I'll do Rafael Sabatini again, first. I'll start with Fortune's Fool, a copy of which I just happen to own, then go to the Captain Blood tales.

Thanks for the info! I have a copy of Below The Salt I sure enjoyed reading.

I've got the black rose and the Plantagenets series (still in original case!). Love the way the guy writes. (But the series isn't really straight history, he kind of flowers it up a bit I think)
