This week I had a zoom interview with the editor of the Ricardian Bulletin about my Ricardian life. It reminded me of the first time that I visited Middleham castle in the early 1990s and the novel about Richard III that I looked at in the English Heritage shop. I didn’t buy the book then but I wish I had. I could still remember the first paragraph that I read briefly in that book even though I didn’t buy it at the time. I wonder why it stuck in my memory even though I can’t remember the first paragraph of any books I have read recently? When I eventually got around to buying the book about twenty years later I wasn’t sure if it was the one that I saw in Middleham until I read the first paragraph about Richard being lost in a forest and being scared as the daylight faded into night. The book is called The Sunne In Splendour by Sharon Kay Penman.
