Picked up Meet the Georgians by Robert Peal this weekend and it covers a lot about the Georgian period, ive researched a fair bit about the 1700s and it had plenty of facts i didn't know and im only about 2 chapters in and he (the author) does tell you where some information comes from and i find the book overall really intresting despite the cover making me assume that it was gonna be pretty childish (it really isnt which is great because the time period was anything but childfriendly), i was pleasantly surprised to see the information in the book be presented in a more light hearted way, made me fall in love with the time period even more, if you would like to learn some more beginner friendly information on the Georgians and your intimidated by history books in a more formal format i would definitely recommend.
