When his mentor, the Archbishop suggests that he should write a history of the reign of Richard III, the young Thomas More believes that he has been given a unique opportunity to delve into the past, unravel its mysteries, and set the record straight. But More is to address the turbulent final years of the Wars of the Roses, and he himself unwittingly becomes embroiled in a conspiracy involving the creation of history itself.Raleigh Bruce Barlowe's imaginative treatment of the great debate surrounding Richard III brings its historical characters to life: Thomas More, the brilliant but tormented scholar; Archbishop Morton, an unscrupulous but affectionate man looking back on a career in which he has seen too much; and Brother Bernard, a conscientious monk whose researches uncover some disturbing suggestions.Where does the truth lie? Was Richard III an honourable king or a monster? What really happened to the Princes in the Tower? And how did the generally accepted version of events come down to us? In this novel we hear the voices of those who were there, telling their very different stories, and, by fitting these together, we are brought to an intriguing conclusion.

(If it weren't for a certain English Queen, what we know a...)
If it weren't for a certain English Queen, what we know as the Elizabethan Age might well be called the Waltonian Age. One of the most colorful personalities at the court of Queen Elizabeth I, Sir Walter Raleigh was an explorer, poet, ship designer, essayist, soldier, sailor, political philosopher, founder of colonies, amateur scientist, and privateer (a euphemism for pirate). In his wide-ranging interests and adventurous life, Raleigh personifies the spirit of the Elizabethan Age thrusting, intensely curious, ceaselessly creative, and perhaps a bit amoral. Truly, in the figure of Walter Raleigh the Elizabethan Age is writ small if such a word could be applied to such a large-hearted, ambitious, and fecund figure. Sir Walter Raleigh has been the subject of numerous biographies, but Raleigh Barlowe's fictional autobiography is the first account of Raleigh's life told from his point of view. Although devoted to his own interests and career, Raleigh is not so self-absorbed that he ignores the world around him the intrigue ridden Elizabethan court, as dangerous in its way as the Atlantic storms that buffet Raleigh's ships as he seeks a place for a New England in the Old World. Writing as a prisoner in the Tower of London, Raleigh chronicles his youthful adventures as a pirate, details his attempts to run an English comb through the unruly locks of the Irish, and tells of his last, heartbreaking journey to the Americas and his return to an uncertain future, a future clouded by the shadow of the scaffold. Raleigh Barlowe's assumption of the persona of Sir Walter Raleigh brings the adventure's world vividly to life. The author's skill is such that the reader may, indeed, wonder if the Elizabethan Age isn't misnamed.
