Publisher's Summary
Follow the disaster magnets of St Mary's as they hurtle around history! The ninth book in The Chronicles of St Mary's Series collects the best-selling short stories in audio for the first time.
'When a Child Is Born': a jump back to 1066 to witness the coronation of William the Conqueror goes slightly astray.
'Roman Holiday': Max and her team become spectacularly involved with Julius Caesar, Cleopatra and a basket of confused asps.
'Christmas Present': an attempt to rescue lost historians involving an enraged pig and Boudicca herself.
'The Very First Damned Thing': discover the truth about the very beginning of St Mary's.
'Ships and Stings and Wedding Rings': a gun left behind in ancient Egypt and a race against time to prevent a catastrophe.
'The Great St Mary's Day Out': hooray! It's a happy holiday. For everyone except Max, the only one with her mind on the job.
'My Name Is Markham': Alfred, the cakes and Mr Markham. The Great British Bake Off it's not!
And a bonus a new and previously unpublished short story - 'A Perfect Storm'.

Too many previously bought
So I bought this title primarily because I hadn't yet bought one of the short stories, and thought at least this way I get the bonus one as well. Having said that, I think the other short stories were cheap. So I want to focus my review on "My name is Markham". As an Australian, I have had to Google what on earth was the story about Alfred and cakes. It's one of the few times the author has picked a story and not provided enough background - potentially to anyone not from England. This detracted considerably from my enjoyment. The story itself was adequate, but it did not appear to fit after the events of Book 8 as the characters were wrong. So I'm not sure why it's listed as 8.5.
