“The definitive biography of Warwick. Its surface color and excitement will carry the reader happily to the end.”—Saturday Review. During the Wars of the Roses, Richard Neville, Earl of Warwick, exercised more than regal power. His death, in battle with a king he put in power and then tried to overthrow, ended an important era in English history. “Kendall, who wrote an excellent biography of Richard III, now gives us an even more convincing portrait of Warwick.” —New York Times.

The classic, magnificent bestselling novel about Richard III, now in a special thirtieth anniversary edition with a new preface by the author In this triumphant combination of scholarship and storytelling, Sharon Kay Penman redeems Richard III—vilified as the bitter, twisted, scheming hunchback who murdered his nephews, the princes in the Tower—from his maligned place in history. Born into the treacherous courts of fifteenth-century England, in the midst of what history has called The War of the Roses, Richard was raised in the shadow of his charismatic brother, King Edward IV. Loyal to his friends and passionately in love with the one woman who was denied him, Richard emerges as a gifted man far more sinned against than sinning. With revisions throughout and a new author's preface discussing the astonishing discovery of Richard's remains five centuries after his death, Sharon Kay Penman's brilliant classic is more powerful and glorious than ever.
