M.J. Trow was educated as a military historian at King's College, London and is probably best known today for his true crime and crime fiction works. He has always been fascinated by Richard III and has at long last written this, his first book on the subject. He lives with his wife and cat on the Isle of Wight, but has spent more time in the North in recent years visiting family and has grown to love it as Richard did.
An wonderfully written and informative biography of an English monarch who lived in troubled times, Richard III in the North is an especially recommended addition to personal, community, college, and university library Medieval British History & Biography collections, and is a compelling read that is further enhanced for academia with the inclusion of two Appendices (Richard's Places in the North; The Murders of Richard III), a two page Selected Biography, and a four page Index. -- Midwest Book Review
