Shortly after the conclusion of the Second World War, Edith Pargeter made her first trips to a country in whose struggles for freedom she would take a passionate interest for the rest of her life: Czechoslovakia. Deeply affected by all she saw-these sojourns "obviously changed her life," according to her biographer-Pargeter chronicled her travels in The Coast of Bohemia, originally published in England in 1950. It is an unexpectedly fervent volume, offering intriguing perspectives both on a country newly succumbing to Soviet rule and on the normally retiring author as a citizen of the wider world, and it will appeal strongly to fans of Pargeter's many other books, including The Brothers of Gwynned Quartet and those written under her pen name Ellis Peters.

It is 1399. Henry Bolingbroke, unjustly banished and deprived of his inheritance by Richard II, returns to claim his rights and deposes the king to become Henry IV of England. He is aided by the powerful lords of Northumberland, especially by his friend, Harry Percy, nicknamed Hotspur. But the triumph of his accession quickly turns sour in the face of ever-growing crises in his new kingdom, and Wales is the most pressing and troublesome of these. For although Henry's son and heir, Prince Hal, is the nominal Prince of Wales, the Welsh have a prince of their own blood in Owen Glendower, and they are swift to rally to his rebellious call to arms. The three Henries all wish to see the House of Lancaster succeed, but their partnership contains the seeds of its own destruction. The memory of past crimes and growing doubts and divisions cause a dangerous rift. The king also has powerful enemies who are all too willing to take advantage of this and tension mounts as the three men are drawn inexplicably to a bloody collision some two miles from Shrewsbury...

"Outstanding...a tale compounded of romance, stirring adventure, and subtle psychological insight." -Publishers Weekly Henry Bolingbroke knows that he should be king of England. It's his God-given destiny, and the young Richard II had no right to banish him and claim the throne. With the help of the powerful lords of Northumberland, especially Harry "Hotspur" Percy, Henry triumphantly overthrows Richard and imprisons him. But the thrill of becoming Henry IV of England fades as trouble brews in Wales. Rebellion is in the air, and the question of how Richard II really died lingers, poisoning the court. Henry IV will need all his strength to defend the crown, but the relationships between the king, Hotspur, and the king's son Prince Hal contain the seeds of their own destruction. The king's powerful enemies are poised to pounce as the three men are drawn to bloody collision some two miles from Shrewsbury. Filled with the glorious historical detail that fans of Edith Pargeter have come to expect, A Bloody Field by Shrewsbury is a skillful tapestry of the feuds, loves, and triumphs of Henry IV. "Chivalry, treachery, conflict of loyalties...are the rich threads in the tapestry...the clash of wills is as stirring as the clash of steel." -Observer "A vivid portrait of Hotspur...one of the last knights-errant of the age." -Sunday Telegraph
