Hi Coral,
No, shipping to the UK won't be a problem. Below is the revised list
of the books that are left. I hope you find something you like.
Gilda
Overstock
Carleton, Patrick. Under the Hog. New York: E.P. Dutton, 1938.
514pp. / paperback - $10; hardbound, no dust jacket - $25
Detailed, unsentimental, colorful novel dealing with the lives of
Edward IV, Clarence and Richard. Good detailed characterizations and
fine writing, especially in maintaining the historically accurate
medieval mindsets of these people.
Doyle, Arthur Conan. The White Company. New York: Hart Publishing
Company, Inc. 1975 (originally published 1891.) 383pp. /
paperback - $1
Taking a break from Sherlock Holmes, the author has written an action-
packed adventure story set in the fourteenth century. The title
refers to a band of English mercenaries fighting in France during
this tumultuous era, and the book is true to other chivalric tales of
the day.
Edwards, Rhoda. The Broken Sword (English title: Some Touch of
Pity). New York: 1976. 295pp. / paperback - $1
Fine, unusual novel of Richard IIIýs life from April 1483 until
shortly after his death. Each chapter is ýtoldý by a different
character in a different voice: Richard, Anne, Lovell, Dr. Hobson,
and others. True to known historical facts.
Farrington, Robert. The Killing of Richard III. London: Chato and
Windus, 1971. 287pp. / paperback - $5
The first novel of a trilogy dealing with the career of Henry Morane,
Privy Clerk to the King's secretary, who serves Richard III as a spy.
Jarman, Rosemary Hawley. Crown in Candlelight. Boston: Little,
Brown & Co., 1978. pp477. / paperback - $1 ; hardbound - $5
The intertwined tale of Henry V and Kathering Valois, ending with the
death of Owen ap Tudor; told with Jarmanýs signature lyricism.
Jarman, Rosemary Hawley. The Kingýs Grey Mare. New York: Little
Brown & Co., 1973. 448pp. / paperback - $2 ; hardbound, no dust
jacket - $7
This novel focuses sympathetically on the life of Elizabeth Woodville
with a subplot concerning a love affair between Richardýs
illegitimate son John of Gloucester and Edward IVýs illegitimate
daughter Grace. Vivid characterizations.
Jarman, Rosemary Hawley. We Speak No Treason. London: Collins,
1971. 576pp. / paperback - 50ý ; hardbound, no dust jacket - $1
This finely written novel explores Richardýs life from age 17 on
through the eyes of three narrators who loved him: the woman who bore
his illegitimate daughter Katherine, a court fool, and an archer in
his army. Each narrator speaks in a different style. One scene
powerfully uses the personal prayer from Richardýs Book of Hours.
Nickell, Lesley J. The White Queen. Bodley Head, London, 1978. 349
pp. / hardbound - $10
Anne Nevilleýs life from the age of 5 until her death, with the main
emphasis on her relationship with Richard and the gradual emergence
of her own strength of character. Richard is too good to be true as
a romantic husband.
Palmer, Marian. The White Boar. New York: Doubleday, 1968.
373pp. / hardbound , no dust jacket - 50ý
The life of Richard III as seen through the eyes of two of his
followers: Francis Lovell and a fictitious cousin of great
conscience, Philip Lovell. The author seems to have had difficulty
deciding just what her approach to Richardýs character was.
Penman, Sharon Kay. The Sunne in Splendour. New York: Holt,
Rinehart, Winston, 1984. 900 pp. / paperback - $10
Multifaceted, long novel with Richard as the main focus.
Characterizations of Richard, Edward IV, and Warwick, especially, are
very vivid. Well-researched, the events take place between
1459-1492. Historical notes at end.
Peters, Elizabeth. The Murders of Richard III. New York: Dodd Mead,
1974. 244pp. / paperback - $2.50
Jacqueline Kirby solves a series of malicious pranks and a near
murder at a weekend house party given by an English off-shoot of the
Richard III Society. Events occur in the same order as crimes
attributed to Richard by Shakespeareýs play. The society members are
spoofed in their more exaggerated hagiography of Richard.
Plaidy, Jean. The Goldsmithýs Wife. London: Putnam, 1950. 316 pp. /
paperback - $2.50
The life of Jane Shore from the age of 18 to her death is the subject
