I too
was captivated by the book "Katherine" by Anya
Seton! It first was published in 1954, but I didn't have
the joy of reading it till only a couple of years ago.
Since then I've been fascinated by this historic couple the Duke
of Lancaster and his mistress then wife Katherine.
Immediately after finishing the novel I went on web searches for
any information I could find. I collected images and links
I found interesting and compiled them all in to one
place...here!
Since
I had started this site, I have also added a Yahoo Group with
another gentleman Roger Joy. You will see his photo in the
Images section. Well, Rogers passion is to take pictures
of anything pertaining to Katherine. The Katherine Yahoo Group
has over a hundred images from Roger and other
researchers. If you would like to join us there, Please
feel free to email me for an invite. My Email is further
down the page.
Thank-you,
Michelle
