Their uncle seized the crown for himself as Richard III and is widely suspected as being responsible for the murder of the princes. Richard III was himself killed only two years later at the Battle of Bosworth in 1485 and was succeeded as king by Henry VII, who founded the Tudor dynasty.
After the death of Richard III, there were always rumours
that one or both of the princes had survived or escaped and imposters surfaced to lead rebellions against Henry VII. The most
famous impostors were Lambert Simnel and Perkin Warbeck, who both appeared during the reign of Henry VII.
The movie focuses on the claims of Perkin Warbeck to be the younger of the two princes, Richard, Duke of York. Warbeck was captured, interrogated and eventually executed in 1499.
Although
highly fictional, the movie is based on the historical events of the time
and the mystery surrounding the fate of The Princes in the Tower, the
inspiration, of course, for my novel, The Sorcerer's Letterbox.
You can watch the full movie here on YouTube and learn more about the cast members, plot and read some reviews here.
People are always interested in hearing an author read from their own work. Children in particular, especially those who have read and enjoyed the novels, are usually captivated when an author reads from their own book during a personal appearance at a school, library, literary festival or other event.
Here on my website, you can listen to interviews and readings from The Alchemist's Portrait, The Clone Conspiracy, The Emerald Curse and The Heretic's Tomb, recorded on Calgary's CKUA radio network, plus a reading from The Sorcerer's Letterbox, recorded during my appearance at the Winnipeg International Writers Festival.
