This time we are getting a blast from the past as we revisit Dan's list of incredible historical fiction to welcome in the the autumnal vibes and cosiness of fall. Dan is a Waterstones Bookseller at their Clifton branch, a book blogger & reviewer over @AresBiblio.

In homage to the BBC's classic Desert Island Discs, the Books to Last Podcast challenges book lovers and readers from all over to select the five books they would take to their mystery remote locale. Tangents and anecdotes likely.
