Please welcome historian Anna Whitelock and we’ll be talking today about her fabulous new book - The Sun Rising: James I and the Dawn of a Global Britain, published by Bloomsbury (UK) & Viking Press (USA).

This is a wonderful account of James VI and I’s working life.

What was his connection to the colonies?

How global was Britain’s presence during his reign?

And is it true that he was once invited to the next tsar of Russia?

Let’s find out more.
