The mystery of the Princes in the Tower is a cause of outrage as well as a whodunnit: the ultimate child-abuse that happens to have taken place five hundred years ago,their fate has been among history's great enigmas,writes Ruth Rendell.This volume examines the
'evidence' and searches for perpetrators.
The Folio Society’s success is due to publishing books with exceptional typography,illustrations,paper and bindings.The Society sources new introductions from literary experts to accompany classic texts,using skilled designers and master printers to produce memorable fine books in both fiction and non-fiction fields.The Folio Society also prides itself on producing series of an author's works which regular publishers might not think economic - in several cases it is only possible to acquire forgotten books by major writers in Folio Society editions.
