Have you ever read Josephine Tey’s “The Daughter of Time,” in which she goes back and rescues Richard III’s reputation? An excellent book.

Yes...I was just getting ready to pose the question about the theory that Richard was setup as written about in Daughter of Time.

Great book.

The Daughter of Time is possibly my favorite mystery. My Shakespears prof recommended it oh so many years ago. The biography of Richard III by Paul Kendall is very good. It gives a positive and sensitive portrayal of Richard. "Truth is the daughter of time."

Y’all might also try “The Sunne in Spendour” by Sharon Kay Penman. An extremely interesting novelized biography of Richard from a very early age through his death at Bosworth.
