In this same year her husband died, and two years later Marguerite married Henri d'Albret, king of Navarre, a small but important territory in the Pyrenees between France and Spain. Marguerite traveled there and negotiated her brother's release in exchange for an enormous ransom payment. In 1525, French forces lost the battle of Pavia in Italy, and the Spanish army took Francis captive, imprisoning him at Madrid. When her brother ascended the throne in 1515, she moved with him in his court, exercising an influence on his policies. She mastered French, Latin, Greek, Hebrew, German, and Spanish and had also read the scriptures widely by the time she married Charles, the Duke of Alençon, in 1509. Marguerite was the sister of King Francis I of France and as a young child she received extensive tutoring in the classics from her mother.

Thank you to Joe Bruchac, who very generously shared his Jim Thorpe and Carlisle football research and offered helpful advice along the way.Įditor Connie Hsu was a great head coach for this book, sort of like Pop Warner, but with less cursing. And I knew I was onto something good when my sister-in-law, also not a fan, gave the book a good review. My wife, Rachel, always my first and most trusted reader (and not a football fan), helped me find that balance. And I wanted to write a book that would have at least a chance of winning over non–football fans. But the story also had to be about something bigger, something more significant than the outcomes of long-forgotten football games. That is, I wanted a story with edge-of-your-seat action, where you’re rooting so hard you shout at the page. I always wanted to write a sports story, but it had to be the right one.

Media coverage of that industry has grown by leaps and bound over the past three to five years although English-language books about it are still relatively rare. Market watchers will quibble with some parts for being too simple or vague - such as the claim China is split between huge producers doing cheap wines and small ones doing expensive ones, or the list of easily recognizable white grapes planted that only names Chardonnay, Chenin Blanc and Semillon, even though Rieslings are far more prominent than the latter two - but the book nevertheless lets readers know that China has an increasingly important wine industry. There is an overview of the market, short entries on key provinces and regions that produce wine, and sidebars on topics like fake wine. A fellow traveler picked up a copy of this massive tome - it’s almost 1000 pages - and I checked to see if it had any China coverage. Last year’s lone wine trip outside China was to California in October and it came just after the new edition of The Wine Bible by Karen MacNeil was released.
