My Name is Markham
My Name is Markham | Jodi Taylor
10 posts | 12 read | 6 to read
Like a smaller and much scruffier Greta Garbo finally Markham speaks! Its Christmas and time for the first (and almost certainly last) St Marys Annual Childrens Christmas Party attendance compulsory, by order of Dr Bairstow. Discovered practising his illegal reindeer dance and poo-dropping routine, our hero, along with fellow disaster-magnets Peterson and Maxwell, is despatched to Anglo-Saxon England to discover the truth about Alfred and the cakes. In his own words, our hero reveals Major Guthries six-point guide to a successful assignment and the Security Sections true opinion of the History Department. And of historians in general. And of one historian in particular. And, just to be clear, it is time travel, for Gods sake. Forget all that pretentious investigating major historical events in contemporary time rubbish. This is history without the capital H. Because this is the way the Security Section rolls!

It was nice to get the story from a different perspective this time around. And it was nice that they kept up the Christmas tradition!

A downright hilarious story told, unusually, by the security guy Markham in the time-traveling group rather than the historian Dr Maxwell. They‘ve gone to see King Alfred “burn the cakes” and returned to the rollicking, reindeer-pooping black olives Christmas party. A laugh-out-loud book. #holidayread #wintergames #tmskellington @crimson613 @clwojick @staycurious

annahenke I love this series on audio. What a delight to listen to! My favorite thing is how fast paced and witty they are. Time travel books often get bogged down with details, but these are just FUN! (edited) 4y

I'm so glad this bus is empty. I keep smiling to myself and having to stop myself from bursting into laughter! I ❤️ Markham 😊

Merry Christmas from Jodi Taylor! The traditional Christmas trio of disaster magnets, Max, Peterson, and Markham take a quick trip to 9th Century England and King Alfred the Great, while present day St. Mary's prepares to host a Christmas party for a dozen kids. Narrated this time by Markham instead of Max, it takes about an hour to read & is a good palette cleanser or break from tougher reads. ☕️🍭🍫
