Tack Pernilla. Fascinerande eller hur?

It really is amazing, isn’t it Eva? Celia Brayfield illustrates her comments with books by well-known authors of historical fiction – incuding Phillipa Gregory’s The Other Boleyn Girl. I doubt very much the illustrations are the authors’ choices, they must be the pubishers’ responsibility. Another argument for self-publication perhaps. Brayfield even shows history books can get caught in the trap. She includes the cover of She Wolves: The Women Who Ruled Englnad Before Elizabeth, an academic study by Dr Helen Castor of Cambridge University. The cover of her book shows a portrait of Elizabeth I, cut off just above the nose!

What’s more amazing still is that, like you, I hadn’t noticed it before – but once it was pointed out I couldn’t not see it!
