Elizabeth Woodville


Next week is the release of Philippa Gregory's new book The White Queen, about Elizabeth Woodville. Most people don't seem too crazy about the cover (I could do without the silver stuff at the top) but it's not the worst depiction I've seen of the woman who was supposed to be very beautiful. There aren't a lot of historical fiction books about Elizabeth, so most of these are different versions of the few that I know of.

unknown year (she looks a little haughty here)

unknown year, although I'm guessing from the 80's (sorry it is so small - maker it bigger distorts it too much)

1973 - Now this is what a medieval femme fetale should look like!

Love the title The Woodville Wench! Pretty much makes it clear where the author is going with the story doesn't it!

Welcome to my blog collection of book covers. In the course of looking for books on ebay, I have come across some very interesting book covers. I didn't always end up buying the book, so the covers shown here aren't necessarily ones that I own. Just ones I liked, disliked or thought were funny, cheesy, etc. I'm no expert when it comes to creating stuff like this, so we'll see how well this format works. Suggestions are always appreciated!
