I would be so intrigued to know how she would have written Richard III! (which reminds me, I once read a book by Rhoda Edwards which is about Richard III – and dedicated to Rosemary Sutcliff). The title is ‘Some touch of pity’.
Thanks for this: news to me…. one of the delights of curating this weblog is that many of you know so much more than I do! And that you all contribute – thank you. (And see new main post)
