Monday 5th November 2018

Every July for a number of years now, the town of Middleham in North Yorkshire has actively celebrated the once close relationship between King Richard III and this most historic region.  The fortress of Middleham Castle was, for many years, the home of this controversial monarch... so it is only fitting that what remains of this impressive fortification should rightly play host to this annual revelry in the form of the popular 'Richard III Festival'......   

This year, however - amid the throng of historical encampments, demonstrations, crafts and related talks - our good friend Susan Lamb, and fellow author, Joanne Larner, 'set up stall' to display their related wares!  As regular visitors to this page will know, the ladies concerned are passionate 'Ricardians', who have turned their 'love for everything Richard' into a brace of humorous publications, telling of the fictitious shenanigans of their favourite king at 'his castle of Muddleham'...!


The popular volumes concerned - 'Dickon's Diaries: A Yeare In The Lyff Of King Richard The Third' and 'Dickons Diaries 2' - have been mentioned on this blog previously and are available through Amazon HERE and HERE.
