Review
"James Goldman, author of The Lion in Winter, again turns to the period of the late 12th and 13th centuries. This time, he has written a novel. Myself as Witness shows an unconventionally good side to John, son of Henry II and Eleanor of Aquitaine. Fans of Robin Hood will be surprised. Told as a diary of a cleric, Giraldus, the story is engrossing and readable. Highly recommended." Reviewed by Robert Jackson, Virginia Quarterly Review (Copyright 2006 Virginia Quarterly Review)
