The Dorothy Dunnett Companion - Volume II - first UK edition

by Elspeth Morrison

The Dunnett Companion is an encyclopedic guide to the historical world she describes in her novels, illuminating the rich tapestry of fact and allusion, of historical personages and places, events and politics, literary references and music that colour her work. This reference book covers both her "Lymond" sequence, which explores the intricacies of 16th century history, and the "House of Niccolo" series, set in the 15th century world of trade and war and banking. This second volume contains the last three books in the "House of Niccolo" series and an overview of this novelists work and the period about which she writes. 

This is a must have reference source to fully appreciate the incredible depth of Dorothy Dunnett's works (or you could take a degree in Renaissance history!).
