The Daughter of Time
by Josephine Tey
Inspector Alan Grant of Scotland Yard, recuperating from a broken leg, becomes fascinated with a
contemporary portrait of Richard III that bears no resemblance to the Wicked Uncle of history.
Could such a sensitive, noble face actually belong to one of the world’s most heinous villains—a venomous
hunchback who may have killed his brother’s children to make his crown secure? Or could Richard have been
the victim, turned into a monster by the usurpers of England’s throne? Grant determines to find out once
and for all, with the help of the British Museum and an American scholar, what kind of man
Richard Plantagenet really was and who killed the Little Princes in the Tower.
