ppint. 13th Jun 2021		good king james III alternate histories chronicling the adventures of bonnie green, simon, dido & is twite, assorted dastardly hanoverian ne'er-do-wells plotting to overthrow the rightfully-reigning stuarts, etc. some of the evil - or at least ambivalent - characters, not least dido's father, also recur... #0: ''the whispering mountain'' (1968), (this novel) (a prequel with no continuing characters) #1: ''the wolves of willoughby chase'' (1962), q.v. (bonnie, sylvia, simon) #2: ''blackhearts in battersea'' (1964), q.v. (simon, dido twite) #3: ''nightbirds on nantucket'' (1966), q.v. (dido twite) #4: ''the stolen lake'' (1981), q.v. (dido twite) #5: ''limbo lodge'' (1999), q.v. (dido twite) aka ''dangerous games'' (us 1999 & ff.), q.v. #6: ''the cuckoo tree'' (1971), q.v. (dido twite) #7: ''dido & pa'' (1986), q.v. (dido & is twite) #8: ''is'' (1992), q.v. (is twite) aka ''is underground'' (us 1992 & ff.), q.v. #9: ''cold shoulder road'' (1995), q.v. (is twite) #10: ''midwinter nightingale'' (2003), q.v. (simon & dido twite) #11: ''the witch of clatteringshaws'' (2005), q.v. (simon & dido twite) omnibus of #8 & #9: #O: ''is & cold shoulder road'' (2005), q.v. sharing the alternate historical setting & atmosphere, which runs on into the reign of king richard IV (and perhaps beyond (?)), but none of the characters from the above novels recurs: #A: ''midnight is a place'' (1976), q.v. (this comment is from another edition of this book)
