The Daughter of TimeJosephine TeyBeeGee Dark Classics ¿ Book 11A king accused. Two princes vanished. A verdict accepted for centuries. One detective decides to examine the evidence.Confined to a hospital bed with a broken leg, Scotland Yard Inspector Alan Grant becomes fascinated by a portrait of Richard III-the king remembered as a ruthless usurper and the murderer of the Princes in the Tower. But the familiar story troubles Grant. With the help of a young researcher, he begins treating history like an unsolved criminal case, questioning sources, motives, dates, witnesses, and the assumptions repeated from one generation to the next. First published in 1951, The Daughter of Time transforms one of England's most enduring historical mysteries into an ingenious work of detective fiction. More than a mystery about Richard III, it is a provocative exploration of evidence, reputation, historical memory, and the uncomfortable distance between what happened and what later generations came to believe.This BeeGee Dark Classics Edition IncludesEditor's Introduction - The Detective Who Put History on TrialJosephine Tey: A Brief Life - The Private Writer Behind Alan GrantThe World of Inspector Alan GrantRichard III and the Princes in the Tower - Historical NoteFact, Fiction, and Historical DebateHistory as a Crime SceneThe Making of a Villain - Richard III, Shakespeare, and ReputationTimeline: Richard III and the Mystery of the PrincesWho's Who in the Historical InvestigationThe Evidence File - Contemporary Evidence, Later Testimony, Disputed Claims & Unanswered QuestionsReader's Guide & Book-Club QuestionsRead It Again - A Second Look at the CluesFurther ReadingA portrait begins the investigation.
