buffs beware. Though
Reay Tannahill's narrative is entertaining, it offers little insight
into the complex personality demonized by Shakespeare in RICHARD III.
About two-thirds of the book focuses on the life of Richard before his
brother King Edward dies, and little time is devoted to the mystery
surrounding who killed the heir, Edward, age 12, and his younger
brother, Richard....His Anne Neville is graceful, sympathetic, and
charming. Richard is commanding and brilliant. |
