Not connected to the former, but just to let you all know, I will be away from the forum for about a month starting this Thursday, as I am going to stay with my sister in Florida, USA.
I may be able to find a little broadband from time to time, in which case I will pop up!
At present I am reading the Charles Ross biography, which is not pro Richard. I am looking for something else to download to my Kindle to take with me, and I discovered David Hipshon's, Richard III and the Death of Chivalry.
Has anyone read it and will it keep me entertained on my trip?

Jess

Alas, I didn't write it, I merely found it as a news article someone had scanned, without crediting the author or the paper. So the author is unknown.
