About this title

About the Author

MARGARET W PRICE LIVES IN WORCESTER PARK SURREY, UK. SHE HAS SPENT MOST OF HER LIFE THERE, WITH SPELLS IN YORKSHIRE AND CORNWALL. BOTH OF WHICH SHE LOVES. SHE IS SINGLE AND LIVES WITH HER TWO BELOVED MINIATURE DACHSHUNDS, TWO SEALPOINT SIAMESE CATS AND A RESCUED MOGGY. SHE LOVES TRAVEL, GARDENING, ANIMALS AND THE ARTS, PARTICULARLY THE OPERAS AND MUSIC OF RICHARD WAGNER. SHE IS A RETIRED TEACHER, AND NOW, AFTER FORTY YEARS IN THE CLASSROOM, MAINLY AS HEAD OF MUSIC IN VARIOUS SCHOOLS, AFTER STUDYING AT THE ROYAL ACADEMY OF MUSIC IN LONDON, AND AS A PIANO TEACHER, SHE IS FREE TO INDULGE HER PASSION FOR WRITING. SHE HAS BEEN WRITING HISTORICAL NOVELS FOR YEARS, BUT NEVER HAD THE TIME IN HER BUSY TEACHING CAREER TO SEND HER WORK TO PUBLISHERS. BRITISH HISTORY, PARTICULARLY MEDIAEVAL HISTORY, HAS ALWAYS BEEN A GREAT PASSION FOR MARGARET AND SHE HAS HAD A LONG-TIME INTEREST IN RICHARD 111 AFTER LIVING IN YORKSHIRE, HIS MOST BELOVED COUNTY, AS A YOUNG WOMAN WHERE HER INTENSE INTEREST IN HIS LIFE BEGAN. THIS BOOK WAS BORN OUT OF A STRONG DESIRE TO VINDICATE HIM AND HELP CLEAR HIS BAD REPUTATION, BY SHOWING WHAT HE WAS REALLY LIKE, A BASICALLY GOOD AND WELL-MEANING MAN, WITH A STRONG WISH TO IMPROVE THE LOT OF THE BRITISH PEOPLE. MARGARET FEELS THAT ANYONE WITH AN UNCERTAIN VIEW OF RICHARD 111 BECAUSE OF THE WAY HISTORY HAS BLACKENED HIM, WILL SURELY AGREE WITH HER AFTER READING THIS BOOK THAT HE MEANT WELL AND DID A GREAT DEAL OF GOOD IN HIS SHORT REIGN.
