As a life-long lover of history, I believe storytelling is one of the best ways to bring the past to life. After all, what is history if not an intriguing series of stories? Through storytelling, we can step into moments from the past, as if we were there ourselves, and get to know the people no 146 June - July 2026 who shaped the world we live in today. That’s exactly what we’ve done in this issue of English Now, where our team of writers use story to explore the fascinating history and mystery of three remarkable fortresses: Alcatraz, Edinburgh Castle and the Tower of London. So, grab yourself a cup of tea, get cosy, and become Al Capone, the Grey Lady – Edinburgh Castle’s resident ghost – or Anne Boleyn, if only for a moment in time!
