This item is sold brand new. It is ordered on demand from our supplier and is usually dispatched within 7 - 11 working days The Wars of the Roses which took place in England during the 15th century have passed into folk-memory as bloody, vicious struggles for power, with the throne as the prize and ordinary people as the victims. William Shakespeare's propaganda for the Tudor dynasty played a great part in creating this legend. Yet the truth was rather more complex. Although power changed hands often, and sometimes with bewildering speed, English society in general was relatively stable, and prosperous. The Wars of the Roses represent a stage in the evolution of a British nation, emerging from the long shadow of medieval France that had lain over these islands since the Norman Conquest. This popular book covers the period beautifully. Features Summary The Wars of the Roses ushered out the Middle Ages and beckoned in the Tudor period.

Keen botanists, a list of the plants they collected is included as an appendix. The book is of particular interest because it is early enough to give an account of African life little affected by modernity, yet late enough to present an invaluable detailed and accurate photographic record.   A chronological account of the author's journeys with Mr. and Mrs. P.A. Talbot, the former of which was a District Commissioner of Southern Nigeria, as they progressed across Central Africa through countries under both French and German rule. Miss MacLeod relates in detail each stage of her trip, her chapter headings bearing consecutive dates between August and May . Written by a woman, this book is an unusual find in the normally male-dominated genre of Africana travel narratives. Olive MacLeod was the daughter of John Reginald and Lady Agnes MacLeod of MacLeod, and was the fiancée of Boyd Alexander who was killed in on the borders of Dar Fur.  Internally fresh & clean copy of this most elusive, desirable and scarce title.
