Their titles are White Ice and The Dream Sellers. The book I started to read is the second one. As it says in the back cover the book talks about a wealthy mill owner, Edward Shawcross, had been a penniless young man until he married the daughter of the Fishwick family.

"Few architects have had more influence on the London skyline than Sir Christopher. Responsible for 51 city churches and his masterpiece, St. Paul’s Cathedral, he had a key role in the rebuilding efforts following the Great Fire of London in 1666. Sir Christopher also founded the Royal Society, the oldest scientific academy in continuous existence in the world. They're responsible for publishing works like Isaac Newton’s 'Principia Mathematica', and Chadwick’s detection of the neutron that led to the unleashing of the atom. Fellows of the Society have included Newton himself, Darwin, Einstein, Stephen Hawking and Tim Berners-Lee – many of them British historical figures in their own right."

Though The Tempest is listed in the First Folio as the first of Shakespeare's comedies, it deals with both tragic and comic themes, and modern criticism has created a category of romance for this and others of Shakespeare's late plays. The Tempest has been put to varied interpretations from those that see it as a fable of art and creation, with Prospero representing Shakespeare, and Prospero's renunciation of magic signaling Shakespeare's farewell to the stage, to interpretations that consider it an allegory of Europeans colonizing foreign lands.
