Fiction

The period of the Wars of the Roses has always been a favourite with historical novelists and the controversy surrounding Richard III has generated some classic novels such as 'The Daughter of Time'. This section of the Library contains over 400 novels set in the fifteenth century or featuring 'Ricardian' themes.

The Fiction catalogue lists all the novels in the Barton Library. The entries are arranged in alphabetical order by the authors' names and give the title and date of publication. and whether they are hardbacks or paperbacks. A brief outline of the story is also included in each entry.

Books are sent by post to members anywhere in the United Kingdom or may be collected personally (please make an appointment before calling). We regret that because of the risk of loss or delay in the post, books are not sent outside the UK. Overseas members are recommended to use the catalogue as a reading list and check the library facilities of their local Society branch or public library. One or two old and/or rare books can only be borrowed if they can be collected and returned in person.
