The New Murrey and Blue blog

Anthologies centred around Richard III are very popular, and now there is another—titled A Spirited and Most Courageous Prince—which contains contributions from two very well-known and loved Ricardian authors, Alex Marchant and Alice Mitchell. It also includes a story by the third lady in the above photograph, Bridget Beauchamp.

Briefly, this article from the Keighley News—https://tinyurl.com/29ytktzz—states as follows: “….Two Keighley authors have contributed to a new charity anthology celebrating Richard III….Alex Marchant and Alison Harrop, who writes under the pen name Alice Mitchell, provided short stories for A Spirited and Most Courageous Prince….The duo was amongst writers from the UK, USA and Australia to contribute….A foreword was written by award-winning actor Robert Lindsay….Alex also edited the book, sales of which are raising funds for the charity Scoliosis Support and Research….”

What more can you wish to know? It is quite clearly well worth purchasing and enjoying! So have at it, ladies and gentlemen, and support a very good cause in the process.

A Spirited and Most Courageous Prince can be purchased now from Amazon at https://www.amazon.co.uk/Spirited-Most-Courageous-Prince-anthology/dp/B0DHNK5KHB for £7.99 paperback or £2.99 on Kindle.

There is to be an online launch event for the anthology this coming Sunday afternoon (20 October). Call in any time between 3 and 6 pm BST (or after!) to join in the chat with authors at https://www.facebook.com/events/1481849865798321 Please sign up to ‘attend’ and join the authors for some lively discussion about King Richard, their work, the history involved and any other subject that might crop up!

And I mustn’t forget to remind you of previous anthologies centred around Richard III or containing a story about him:-
