"Inhabits the past as convincingly as Hilary Mantel" - Jane Spiro, Professor of Education, Oxford Brookes University.

"The author packs a lot of fun and flavour into this historical fiction, including [the narrator] Eddie's take on Richard's role in the 'Princes in the Tower' mystery...Overall, this book offers a wonderfully complex narrator's perspective on a head-spinning time in history...An intriguing, richly detailed, fictionalized 'eyewitness account' of the Wars of the Roses era." - (Kirkus Reviews)

"Laurence Baillie Brown's rendition...is truly unique and fresh....This telling is packed full of De-la-Pole's passion-filled words and his character blazes to life...The narrative is rich, full of historical research, enlightening conversations, engaging scenes (such as the tournament), and De-la-Pole's character comes across as likable, intelligent, savvy, and with a gift of telling a story...truly brilliant." - From the detailed review by The Historical Fiction Company, who also gave it 5 stars and their Highly Recommended medal.
