A marvelous novel about Richard III and his times

Marian Palmer's novel, The White Boar, is an exquisitely written, well-researched novel which centers around the life, and friends, of Richard III, youngest son of Richard, Duke of York. This is a thoughtful, pro-Richard novel which helps dispel many of the myths surrounding Richard, primarily perpetrated after his death in battle by his enemies. Being particularly interested in England at the time of the Wars of the Roses, I have read an array of books on the topic. The White Boar is easily at the top of the list for being not only a gripping, well-written novel but also for being one of the best books I have found that puts Richard and his times in a logical perspective and does not fall into the propaganda type of book about him and his reign.
