New Bio of Richard

Hello everyone,

I just got the new issue of Renaissance Magazine and they reviewed the Michael Hicks biography of Richard. Has anyone read it? What did you think. Renaissance Magazine's reviews tend to be lacking. Heck, in the same issue they gave a good review to Alison Weir's book about Mary Queen of Scots.

Thanks

I haven't seen it. I found Michael Hicks very helpful when I asked
him
some e-questions about his New DNB article on Thomas Stafford but I
am
not sure he knew I was a Ricardian!

Does he take a more "traditional" view of Richard?

Absolutely. His hero has always been Clarence, for some reason, and has
never liked Richard in any way. The book is worth looking at for the
pictures, but little else unless one has an Alison Weir pile of
anti-Richard books in your library, which I do, poor soul that I am. My
excuse is 'know they enemy'!

Thnak you for the information. I think I will get it from my library
before I risk buying it. I sadly do have some of Weir's works, at
least though she does list some good source material.
