Have just bought a Kobo copy of Joanna Hickson's The Agincourt Bride Found an interview Female First; another book about Catherine of Valois's later days Tudor Bride has just gone to the printer's. Her third book will take place during the Wars of the Roses. Yay! My favourite time period!
My 4 girls!
No entertainment is so cheap as reading, nor any pleasure so lasting. She will not want new fashions nor regret the loss of expensive diversions or variety of company if she can be amused with an author in her closet. ~Lady Montagu

The Agincourt Bride is on my TBR - not at the top but not far from the top.

Are always to be found between the hooves of horses
For never will cowards fall down there.'

Just got the Kindle edition. Although she did not live a very long life, Catherine of Valois is quite an interesting historical person as she spans so much history.
