Tales
Historian Annette Laing interprets amazing stories from history (much of it hard-to-access academic work) into a voice you'll enjoy reading. Here's a way to connect to things you never knew you never knew, but you'll be very glad to know about. If that makes sense . . . OK, it's a sampler of what's out there.

Non-Boring History
Join renegade academic Dr. Annette Laing for a witty, thoughtful, and ever-surprising tour of US and UK history, and how historians think.
“No one approaches history like Annette. Definitely not boring!”

“What's not to love about Non-Boring History? The name of Annette Laing's newsletter says it all. Lots of different ways to read about and explore US and UK history. So much fun!”
History Buzz editorial team, History Buzz
“With humor, insight, rigor, and a zest for narrative, Annette Laing explores the little—and big—tales of history. This self-described “renegade ex-professor of history (tenured, and quit, not fired, thank you),” delights with every post.”
