The Princes in the Tower

288pp. Illustrated. Indexed. Brown cloth-covered boards (sharp, bright, square) with gilt titles to spine. Internally neat, clean, bright and tight. In its original, illustrated, dust jacket (very slightly bumped at edges). Weir recounts the story of the death, in sinister circumstances, of the boy-king Edward V and his younger brother, Richard, Duke of Gloucester - revealing and examining the mysteries and alternative theories which the fate of the Princes of the Tower has attracted over the centuries. A compulsively readable examination of the evidence which challenges the conventional answers to the question of just who did murder the princes.
