Reviews

Praise for The Bones of Avalon: 'Phil Rickman is one of my all-time favorites. He's done it again with his usual sense of permeating atmosphere, with vivid characters in a complex plot that grows through the bones of history like a deadly nightshade.' Diana Gabaldon 'Brilliantly imagined and grippingly executed' The Times 'This one is rather special... Rickman makes a wonderfully assured leap into the sixteenth century... compelling and historically convincing' Spectator
