Author Description

Boudicca, it is said, still drives her chariot out of the mists. Guinevere's funeral procession has been sighted slowly making its way along the Ridgeway's ancient track, and Fotheringhay church continues to reverberate with the music that accompanied the burial of Edward, Duke of York, 500 years ago. As a sixteen- year-old cadet on HMS Inconstant, the future George V saw the ghostly apparition of the dreaded Flying Dutchman, which glowed with an unearthly phosphorescent light as it sailed steadily past. In Joan Forman, well-known for her writings on parapsychology, takes the reader on a tour of these and other paranormal occurrences connected with royalty and royal residences. The result is a fascinating blend of history, mystery and romance that is both intriguing and compelling.
