The Dorothy Dunnett Companions
by Elspeth Morrison |
UK hardback |
Volume 1 - original hardback
This is an A-Z coverage of all the characters, places, and myriad background
details that make Dorothy's books so enjoyable and richly textured. Elspeth
Morrison is a research historian with degrees in Renaissance History and
had to virtually recreate the original research which Dorothy very honestly
admitted had not been properly documented at first.
Unfortunately the original Michael Joseph edition went out of print in 1997 and
it was unavailable until 2001. There was never a US hardback edition.

Volume 2
Elspeth and Dorothy spent almost a year working on Volume 2 of
the Companion, completing it shortly before Dorothy's illness was
diagnosed.
Volume 2 covers the last three Niccolos, earlier Niccolo items
that couldn't be revealed previously without giving away the plot,
and further Lymond items that had been researched since the
original Companion. There are also lots of maps. It was published in hardback in the UK and paperback in the US
