Thanks for commenting -- and no worries on the post numbering! Yeah, I didn't know much about Richard III and got confused a lot at first, but the dialog between Grant and his nurses/friends/etc. made the book great. I hadn't read any Tey and I gather she died the year after this book, but I'll have to check out her earlier works.
