Whispering Gallery, Issue 144
£6.00
Dorothy Dunnett’s talent as an artist is the subject of a couple of the articles in this issue, which features her portrait of Archie Abernethy on the front cover, said to be the only painting she made of a character from her books.
This issue features transcriptions of the talks given at this year’s Oxford Day. We consider the part played by Philippa as a supporting character to Lymond and we look at the role of maps in the novels.
‘Wrapping Up Dunnett’ reaches the era of the New Romantics, we examine the royal arms of Scotland during the reign of James IV and we tackle more of the obscure and unusual words Dunnett employs throughout her narratives.
And what events shocked or surprised you most in the books? Readers reveal the plot twists they didn’t see coming.
