May / June Reads

Mockingbird: a portrait of Harper Lee by Charles J. Shields
Interesting look at a very private person. Author is also a wonderful speaker.

Gumbo Ya-ya: A Collection of Louisiana Folk Tales by Lyle Saxon
Fascinating look at Louisiana culture.

Royal Blood by Bertram Fields
Thoughtful, and unbais, account of the case of Richard the Third. Often lawyer-esque in its handling of the material. But wait... second half very good, the "What if" end chapter very interesting

Richard III by Shakespeare
Was Richard as black as all this? Ask Mr. Fields.

Daughter of Time by Josephine Tey
Maybe it's not historical, but it's a good read.

Jass by David Fulmer
Captures 1900's New Orleans. Great stuff!

Back to 1910, the Big Easy, once again a must read for fans of New Orleans.
