US: Harvest Books, 2004. Paperback. Very Good. A copy that has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged. A fifteenth-century painting by a Flemish master is about to be auctioned when Julia, a young art restorer, discovers a peculiar inscription hidden in a corner: Who killed the knight? In the painting, the Duke of Flanders and his knight are locked in a game of chess, and a dark lady lurks mysteriously in the background. Julia is determined to solve the five-hundred-year-old murder, but as she begins to look for clues, several of her friends in the art world are brutally murdered in quick succession. Messages left with the bodies suggest a crucial connection between the chess game in the painting, the knight's murder, the sordid underside of the contemporary art world, and the latest deaths. Just when all of the players in the mystery seem to be pawns themselves, events race toward a shocking conclusion. A thriller like no other, The Flanders Panel presents a tantalizing puzzle for any connoisseur of mystery, chess, art, and history., Harvest Books, 2004, 3, London: White Lion Publishers. Very Good/Fair. 1974. Hard Cover. 8vo 0856179574 Dust jacket rubbed to edges, creases, chunks missing to edges. Black cloth with bright gilt titling on spine. No ownership inscription. 336 pages clean and tight. In this fascinating volume of `living history', we re-live, through the eyes of contemporary writers - English, French, Flemish, Italian one of the most turbulent periods of English history. Beginning with Henry IV's usurpation of the throne in 1399, Mr. Lander takes us through the actual period of continuous civil strife from 1455 to 1471, and to the last battle between the White and Red Rose at Bosworth Field in 1485. The final sections deal with the last outbursts of insurrection under the two boy pretenders, Lambert Simnel and Perkin Warbeck, and the book closes with the death of the first Tudor king, Henry VII, ruler of a country finally at peace. Mr. Lander takes his material from historians, chroniclers, letter writers like the Paston brothers, foreign ambassadors, papal legates, royal proclamations, proceedings of Parliament and many other sources. The period was rich in incident, in treachery and loyalty, in savagery and heroism. It has been immortalised in Shakespeare's great series of historical dramas. To all those who have read or seen these plays, Mr. Lander's book will have a special interest. To others it will present an unforgettable picture of a nation rent by civil strife. It is not the least of its merits that its author never forgets the common citizens whose lives were for long periods almost unaffected by the rivalries of their lords and masters. ., White Lion Publishers, 1974, 2.5<
