The Dorothy Dunnett Companion

The Dorothy Dunnett Companion

Here is a lovingly assembled, essential A-Z companion to Dorothy Dunnettâ€™s brilliant Lymond Chronicles and the first five novels in the House of NiccolÃ² series.

Elspeth Morrison has re-created the authorâ€™s exhaustive original research, documenting her myriad sources and literary references. Foreign phrases are translated; poems and quotations presented in full; historical figures and events fleshed out; subtle allusionsâ€“and there are manyâ€“noted. From the origins of the Arabic drink qahveh to a recipe for quince paste, from the medical uses of ants and alum, to Zacco, Zenobia, and Zoroaster, this easy-to-use A-to-Z reference richly illuminates the intricacies of the complex and far-flung Renaissance world Dorothy Dunnettâ€™s creations so colorfully inhabit.
