With narrative panache and anecdotal detail (The Independent), McLynn explores the truth behind the early folklore tradition, confirming that Richard was everything youd hoped for, and his brother John was the toad youd always suspected. This is history at its best-a story well-told, thoroughly researched, unexpectedly revealing, and a rattling good read (Spectator).
