Richard III, Edward IV,and The Wars of the Roses

If you like historical novels and the period of the  Wars of the Roses and what led up to it, Edward IV, Richard III and The Princes in the Tower is of interest to you, an excellent book recommendation is "The Sunne in Splendour" by Sharon Penman and is the definitive account of the life of Richard III. This hefty book is one of the best historical novels I have ever read and captures the Wars of the Roses, the Earl of Warwick and the Battle of Barnet, the reigns of Edward IV and Richard III, the historical context of the time and is a definite page turner.
