REED Colleagues will be pleased to learn that Matthew Davies and Andrew Prescott have edited a festschrift in honur of REED Executive Board Member Caroline Barron. London and the Kingdom (<http://www.oxbowbooks.com/bookinfo.cfm/ID/85366>Shaun Tyas: ISBN 9781900289917), edited by Matthew Davies and Andrew Prescott, consists of twenty-five papers given at the 2004 Harlaxton Conference on topics that address London from many different perspectives, including the London accent and the language of London schoolchildren in the Middle Ages, taxation and its evasion, the medieval English hospital, women as apprentices, wives and widows, and their representation on tombs, and, reflecting Caroline's interest in Richard II, papers on Richard II's London, the Peasants' Revolt and Yorkist kingship. Congratulations Caroline!
