Whispering Gallery, Issue 152

The highlight of September’s Whispering Gallery is the transcript of Deirdre Serjeantson’s talk, which she presented at the digital Dunnett Day held in June, about the wild young men of the 16th century.

We have the second of our two articles about the criticism directed at Lymond as a result of the death of Robin Stewart and the final part of our analysis of the character of Gelis. Also finishing in this issue is our short series mapping out the routes taken by our characters through the Scottish Marches.

Our series that aims to help readers of King Hereafter understand the complex state of play of the Christian world at the time of Thorfinn reaches the 9th/10th centuries. We discover the unexpected Dunnett connections to be found in the islands of the Azores and invite readers to name their favourite villains in the books.

Plastic bags, playmobile figures and cheese knives … we publish the winning entries from our photo competition in which Dunnett readers illustrated scenes from the books using whatever came to hand!
