pjthompson: review (weighing)
This was originally released under the title The King's Grave and reissued under the title The Lost King as a tie in to the excellent Stephen Frears movie based on this book. Ms. Langley's fight to be taken seriously by academia and officialdom in her search for Richard III's grave is a compelling story of a rare underdog victory. Her story is laid out in alternating chapters with historian Michael Jones' telling of Richard's life and milieu. It makes for a fascinating read, especially Philippa Langley's mysterious intuition (backed by meticulous research) that led her to the unlikely final resting place of a king
