I read this book for the European Royalty book club here at Goodreads.com. I normally would not have purchased this book because I was not that interested in Richard III. I have read several books about English kings and queens and I was not eager to add another book about this king which is so notorious in history. How wrong I was. One of the best things is how surprised I was with the story. I was addicted to it by page 40, even though the main characters were children still.

This book is the first of three that tells the story of Richard III. I don't know much about Richard (I haven't even read the Shakespeare play); however, it is my understanding that history has not been kind to him. Then, a few decades ago, both scholars and writers started to reexamine Richard's accomplishments. There is now a more balanced approach to Richard, and this book provides such a perspective. In fact, it is downright favorable to Richard.

I really loved this book. It's the first book of a trilogy about Richard III of England. This book focused on his early years up until the point when he has his first child with Anne Neville. I've already ordered the other two books in the trilogy. I never thought I could love an author as much as Jean Plaidy, but if Sandra Worth's other novels are as well written and well researched as this one, she could definitely be up there.

The first of a trilogy about Richard the Third and his wife, Anne Neville.
Pretty accurate historically.
