1968 Press Photo Marian Palmer's "The White Boar," published by Doubleday.

The White Boar (Doubleday, $6.95) by Marian Palmer is an historical novel that recreates the life and times of England's controversial King Richard III. Says Publishers' Weekly "The portrait of Richard that emerges is a fascinating one, neither all white nor all black and the panoply of a dying feudalism seems carefully and authentically researched. This is a very well-written first novel. The fictional parts are lively and in good taste. The story gives full play to the violence, lustiness and characteristic barbarity of the period. All in all, an enjoyable and highly absorbing book. Marian Palmer lives in Vancouver, Canada, with her husband and baby daughter.
