About the author

Eleanor Alice Burford, Mrs. George Percival Hibbert was a British author of about 200 historical novels, most of them under the pen name Jean Plaidy which had sold 14 million copies by the time of her death. She chose to use various names because of the differences in subject matter between her books; the best-known, apart from Plaidy, are Victoria Holt (56 million) and Philippa Carr (3 million). Lesser known were the novels Hibbert published under her maiden name Eleanor Burford, or the pseudonyms of Elbur Ford, Kathleen Kellow and Ellalice Tate. Many of her readers under one penname never suspected her other identities.

I read the Queens Favourite years ago. I recently read The Three Crowns and have just finished The Haunted Sisters. I enjoy learning about historical events though historical novels. Jean Plaidy does her research and presents the history in a very enjoyable way. I’m not always impressed with her writing style but I have to hand it to her that she tells a good tale.

Interesting way to get your British history. Has piqued my interest to start digging in a little more.
