WHAT A GOOD BOOK CAN LEAD TO...
Have you known a good book to change you?
For me, The Daughter of Time by Josephine Tey has led to a huge interest in Richard III and conviction he is not guilty of the murder of The Princes in the Tower, assuming they were killed.
There is no evidence they were killed and my own view is at least one was smuggled out of the country. Richard himself was smuggled out as a boy so it would've been known it could be done and Henry Tudor was never able to prove where the boys were, else he would've done. That really would have damned Richard.
That aside, good books have expanded my view of how irony works thanks to Austen, Wodehouse, and Pratchett. Now there's a trio for you!
Good books have expanded my ideas of what can be done in fiction, especially in fantasy. There's a reason The Lord of the Rings is considered an epic. It is! The sheer scale and scope of the trilogy will always amaze me.
Good books open your mind and imagination.
Happy reading!
