To my great bafflement, it has taken this long for Golden Hill to be released in the US – a multi-award winning highly readable romp through colonial New York, you’d think it’d be obvious, but there you go.

Anyway, here is the main character, Mr. Smith – I roughed these out last year when I read the book, but have only just made them as pretty as I’d like.

Do give Golden Hill a shot if you like

• fun
• peril
• interesting characters
• meticulous research
• very satisfying

Supplemental material – including a rather comprehensive catalogue of 18th-century slang – can be found on the book’s tumblr: @golden-hill
