The Nelson Almanac is a glorious jumble of facts and events brought together as a primer for the aspiring student of Nelson's era.

Essentially, the book has three basic elements. It is biographical, with lively and provocative articles written by some of the most respected modern-day Nelson experts and historians. It is a book of his letters, with nelson himself giving us first hand information of his experiences. And it is an historical document, encompassing revolution, invasion and war, discovery, invention and cultural achievement.

These elements have been woven together to produce a kaleidoscopic tapestry of the period. The majority of the stunning images that bring the characters and events of the period to life are sourced from the Warwick Leadley gallery which holds one of the world's finest collections of Nelson artifacts.
