You do not need to read the historicals to understand the present day Marlow books, but they do connect to them in that they feature the ancestors of the current Marlows and Merricks. Information relating to them is mentioned in The Attic Term and the Cricket Term, when Edwin is researching the farm log. The plots of the historicals involve Shakespeare, Shakesperean drama, religious persecution and the Essex rebellion.
