I read Thomas Costain's triology a long time ago, and I have a copy of The Three Edwards, but have yet to lay my hands on The Conquering Family, which is the first one. The Last Plantagenets runs from Richard II through to Richard III. I really like these historical books. Costain manages to impart so much information, but in a very readable style, not at all dry. And I like books where I have to make notes to look up vocabulary and terms I don't understand.

I dare say, I feel tempted to treat your offer as kindly as I should your company.
