The Adventures Of Alianore Audley
Editorial Reviews
Download Description
"Roger wore his collar of golden Yorkist suns to show that he was one of the King's knights, ludicrous piked shoes to show that he was fashionable, and a massive codpiece to show that he had a vivid imagination." Alianore Audley is a good, submissive, demure woman of the fifteenth century . and if you believe that, you'll believe anything. But she is a spy in Edward IV's intelligence service, and the author of a chronicle that casts - well, a new light, let's say, on the times of the Yorkist kings. History will never be the same after Alianore. Nor will most other novels. Brian Wainwright's debut novel The Adventures of Alianore Audley is a brilliantly funny, subversive spoof. A wonderful romp set in 15th-century England. Told with zest, a deep love and knowledge of the period . a wicked sense of humour and plenty of tongue in cheek . Wainwright deserves far greater recognition . Elizabeth Chadwick's Top 10 Historical Novels, The Guardian
