The New Murrey and Blue blog

Last month we published a post on the top fifty Ricardian fiction books and now we look at the top non- fiction ones.

I wasn’t surprised at the top few of these. Number one was the classic biography of Richard the Third by Paul Murray Kendall. It flows like a novel and isn’t the usual dry, historical tome. Although it’s a little our if date now it’s still very much worth a read.

Number two was Good King Richard?  by Jeremy Potter, who was a Chairman of the Richard III Society and a great champion of Richard.

Number three was Annette Carson’s brilliant Richard III The Maligned King – which has been hailed as a modern Ricardian classic.

In at number five was Philippa Langley’s The Princes in the Tower: How History’s Greatest Child Case Was Solved – this has the latest research about the fates of the Princes which exonerates Richard from murdering them.
