During the Hundred Years\u2019 War, after the English had stormed to victory at the battle of Cr\u00e9cy, they turned their attention northwards: to the prized port city of Calais. Dan Jones brings the lengthy siege to life in his latest historical fiction novel, Wolves of Winter<\/em>, and here he spoke to Rhiannon Davies to reveal why those trapped inside the city considered turning to cannibalism.<\/p>\n\n

Dan Jones is the author of Wolves of Winter<\/em> (Bloomsbury, 2023)<\/strong><\/p>\n
