The Game of Kings – Dorothy Dunnett

A revisit to the Scottish Borders and the complex  political manoeuvrings at play in 16th century Europe.

“Lymond is back”

I originally read A Game of Kings, the first of Dorothy Dunnett’s Lymond Chronicles,  in my third year at St Andrews – half a lifetime ago.

I still love Lymond – who wouldn’t? Misunderstood underdog, stunningly skilled at sword- and word-play, master of a myriad other talents, and of Culter.
