PERKIN WARBECK = A STORY OF DECEPTION = ANN WROE

1st Vintage London SOFTBACK edition 2004 - 1 3 5 7 9 10 8 6 4 2.

'The young man known as 'Perkin Warbeck' is perhaps the most intriguing character in English history. Was he, as he claimed, Richard Duke of York, the younger of the Princes in the Tower, miraculously saved from death in 1483, and the rightful King of England? Or was he merely, as his rival Henry VII said, the son of a Flemish boatman, whose audacity and charm had pushed him almost to the pinnacle of power?

In this marvellous book, Ann Wroe manages to achieve the impossible: to reconstruct the life of a young man whose identity can never be taken for granted. On the way, she describes in breathtaking detail the illusions, longing and deceptions that characterised the last years of the fifteenth century: a world quickly losing its medieval certainties, and trembling on the brink of a whole new age of discovery.'
