The King's Grace

Winner of the 2009 Romantic TImes Magazine's Best Historical Biography award.

If the Perkin Warbeck story had been invented by a novelist, scornful readers might have left the book on the shelf or consigned it to the wastepaper basket as preposterous and implausible. As a novelist, I am in awe of and humbled by the facts and am now a believer in the old adage "truth is stranger than fiction".

And the truth of the matter is that, until we can produce the body of young Richard, duke of York, we shall never know if Perkin was the prince or a pretender. "The King’s Grace" is my interpretation of the facts and my best guess -- and as the mystery of the princes in the Tower is still unsolved, a guess that is as good as any. I would urge anyone still intrigued to study the sources for themselves.
