Could such a sensitive, noble face actually belong to one of the world's most heinous villains--a venomous hunchback who may have killed his brother's children to make his crown secure? Or could Richard have been the victim, turned into a monster by the usurpers of England's throne? Grant determines to find out once and for all, with the help of the British Museum and an American scholar, what kind of man Richard Plantagenet really was and who killed the Little Princes in the Tower. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003eThe Daughter of Time\u003c\/i\u003e is an ingeniously plotted, beautifully written, and suspenseful tale, a supreme achievement from one of mystery writing's most gifted masters.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eElizabeth MacKintosh\u003c\/b\u003e used two pen names during her writing career: Josephine Tey, who was also her Suffolk great-great-grandmother, and Gordon Daviot. She was born in 1897 in Inverness, Scotland, where she attended the Royal Academy. Miss MacKintosh later trained for three years at the Anstey Physical Training College in Birmingham, then began her teaching career as a physical training instructor. She gave up teaching to keep house for her father, who lived near Loch Ness, and pursue her writing. Her first book was \u003ci\u003eThe Man in the Queue\u003c\/i\u003e (1929), published under the Gordon Daviot pseudonym, and it introduced the character of Inspector Grant, familiar now from the Tey novels. The author wrote chiefly under the signature of Gordon Daviot from 1929 to 1946, during which time her works included the play \u003ci\u003eRichard of Bordeaux\u003c\/i\u003e (1933), which ran for a year with John Gielgud in the lead part. The first of the Josephine Tey mysteries, \u003ci\u003eA Shilling for Candies, \u003c\/i\u003e was published in 1936 and was eventually followed by \u003ci\u003eMiss Pym Disposes\u003c\/i\u003e in 1947. Also included among the Tey mysteries are \u003ci\u003eThe Franchise Affair\u003c\/i\u003e (1949), \u003ci\u003eBrat Farrar\u003c\/i\u003e (1949), \u003ci\u003eTo Love and Be Wise\u003c\/i\u003e (1950), \u003ci\u003eThe Daughter of Time\u003c\/i\u003e (1951), and \u003ci\u003eThe Singing Sands\u003c\/i\u003e (1952).
