A major reassessment of one of Britain’s most important monarchs'After finishing this beguiling book, there seems no point in reading anything else. It’s the quintessence of James; rather like his big brain, it flows everywhere and is impossible to contain. In research, analysis and imagination, it’s a masterpiece... In [Jackson's] mirror one views a life perfectly rendered — complete, complex and awe-inspiring' - Gerard de Groot, The TimesJames VI & I, who died 400 years ago, was one of Britain’s most consequential and interesting monarchs, not least in creating the British monarchy itself by joining the English and Scottish thrones. A major intellectual, James's preoccupations ranged from witchcraft and theological controversy to hunting, diplomacy, poetry and sartorial fashion. The 'Mirror of Great Britain' was a spectacular jewel that gave symbolic endorsement to James's vision of British union, but mirrors themselves — with their limitless capacity to magnify, illuminate and distort — supplied James with one of his favourite literary metaphors.Ruler of Scotland for nearly four decades before his accession to the English throne in 1603, James was a ‘cradle king’ whose long reigns encompassed extraordinary dramas, including his abduction in the ‘Ruthven Raid’ in 1582 and his attempted assassination in the Gunpowder Plot of 1605. In his lifetime, James often confounded contemporaries’ expectations while his posthumous reputation has been distorted by crude stereotypes.
Closely attentive to James’s own words — in numerous publications, manuscript musings, topical verse and private correspondence — Clare Jackson's wonderful new book tells the story of this highly unusual monarch with great flair and insight.

An excellent power bank with fantastic features
Color: Pink, Color: Pink
This Anker Nano power bank has become my travel companion, and it's genuinely impressive in most ways - just with one notable trade-off.
What makes this great:
The 45W output is fantastic - it charges my devices quickly, including my laptop when needed. Having that much power in a portable charger is a game-changer for long days away from outlets.
The retractable 2.3 ft cable is the standout feature and honestly genius. No more forgetting cables or dealing with tangled cords in my bag! Just pull it out when needed and retract it back in. This alone makes it so much more convenient than carrying separate cables. The cable feels durable and retracts smoothly.
10,000mAh capacity provides multiple charges for my phone and enough juice for tablets or laptops. The battery life is reliable and consistent with what's advertised.
Anker quality shows - well-built, feels premium, and the brand reliability gives me confidence it'll last.
Why I'm giving 4 stars instead of 5:
Here's the honest drawback: it's not slim. While it's called "compact," it's noticeably bulkier than other 10,000mAh power banks I've used. The built-in cable mechanism adds thickness, so this isn't something that slips easily into a pocket. It's more of a "throw it in your bag" charger than a truly pocket-friendly option.
For truly portable, slim design, there are thinner options out there - but they won't have that convenient retractable cable.
Bottom line:
This is an excellent power bank with fantastic features - the retractable cable and 45W power delivery make it incredibly practical. I'm deducting one star solely for the bulk factor. If you prioritize convenience and power over ultra-slim design, this is perfect. If pocket portability is your main concern, you might want something thinner. Still highly recommend for anyone who values the built-in cable convenience!

Works great, charges quickly
Color: Green
This back up charger/battery works great. Charges your phone somewhat quickly. Can charge my phone twice - 2 full charges. The USB-C cord is retractable, which is very convenient. Keeps it neat and compact. Color was very cute (I got the light blue), so easy to find in bag or drawer amidst sea of black cords and electronics. Has a lanyard so you could hang from a hook for storing. Only negative is the block look is cute, but slightly bulky compared to flat , phone shaped back up batteries that you can put in your pocket. You could put this in a coat pocket or cargo pocket , but it's not flat . Otherwise, I highly recommend this product and seller.

Perfect for on the go charging even while charging
Color: Golden
The Anker Nano MagSafe Portable Charger is a great everyday power bank, especially for travel and quick top-ups. Its ultra-slim design makes it very portable and easy to carry in a pocket or small bag without feeling bulky. The build quality feels solid and reliable, consistent with Anker’s reputation.
Battery life is enough for at least one solid recharge for most phones, making it ideal for daily use rather than extended trips. The built-in display is a nice touch, clearly showing remaining power so there’s no guesswork. It does get slightly warm during use, but nothing concerning, and performance remains stable.
Overall, it’s a dependable, compact MagSafe battery pack that balances portability, convenience, and reliability very well.

Slim, reliable, and incredibly useful for travel
Color: Black
I gave this power bank 5 stars because it has been one of the most useful travel accessories I own. The biggest strength is how slim it is. It does not add a lot of bulk, and even with it attached to my iPhone, I can still fit the phone in my jeans pocket without much trouble. I have even carried it as part of an everyday carry setup because it is that easy to bring along.
Perfect for travel
This really shines on long-haul flights, airport layovers, and day trips when finding a working outlet is not guaranteed. It has saved me more than once when I needed extra battery to get through a long travel day. It is also great for trips where you are constantly on the move and do not want to worry about your phone dying halfway through the day.
Strong magnetic hold
The magnetic attachment is strong and secure. It stays in place well and does not slip around, which makes it much more practical to use while walking around or traveling.
Performance
It charges my phone quickly and gives me enough extra battery to keep going when I really need it. That alone makes it worth carrying. This is one of those products that really comes through at the right time, especially during travel.
One minor drawback
The only downside I have noticed is that the power bank itself takes a while to recharge through the USB-C port. For me, that is not a deal breaker because the portability and convenience more than make up for it.
Bottom line
For the size, portability, and convenience, this is a great value. It has been especially useful for flights, airport layovers, day trips, and even longer travel situations where reliable backup power matters. If you want a slim battery pack that is easy to carry and actually practical to use every day, this is an easy 5-star product.
