The New South Wales Branch of the Richard III Society is encouraged by the number of younger people – ie: those still students at school or university – who have an interest in the varying opinions about Richard III and contact us for more information.

Whereas the two young ones pictured are not even students yet, we hold out great hopes for their future membership. Samantha (nearly two) and Zachary, who was two weeks old at the time of the photograph, are the grandchildren of  Isolde Martyn, one of our Branch’s recent past presidents, and still a welcome and regular contributor to our meetings.

Isolde, of course, is also an author of some repute. Her historical novels* are not only well written but exceptionally well researched, and have won several awards both in Australia and the United States.  We’re looking forward to her next book about Buckingham, as well as a much anticipated novel about Elizabeth Lambert (Jane Shore).

Isolde, we trust you to keep Sam and Zach well and truly in the Ricardian loop!

* The Lady and the Unicorn and The Silver Bride both have a distinct Ricardian connection (in the United States the titles are The Maiden and the Unicorn and Moonlight and Shadow).  The Knight and the Rose is a delightful historical romance set in the time of Edward II.
