Dorothy Dunnett encore


Just a reminder follow-up to my brief piece of April 5 on the outstanding Scottish historical novelist Dorothy Dunnett, to tempt you with a couple of links. I did not believe it was possible for a series of historical novels to even match the House of Niccolo series, let alone outstrip them for drama, thrills and character-driven plot. I have just finished Book One of the Lymond Chronicles and I am eating my hat!
The main UK Dorothy Dunnett website is here, German-readers can find a bilingual website on Dunnett here. The Dorothy Dunnett Readers Association also has its own website here.
