* Terry Jones *Ereira is justly proud… situates Britannia in its political context, connecting it to Charles II’s military purposes and need to crush rebellion'
* Guardian *‘Compelling.. a terrific subject for a biography... Ereira’s enthusiasm is infectious [and his] generous biography conveys both the irrepressible energy and the shifty elusiveness of Ogilby.’
* TLS *Britannia was created by a cunning Scot, to help the monarch’s absolute ascendancy over the whole of Britain. The secret is finally out.'
