	All About Jean Plaidy
		Jean Plaidy is also well-known for the Gothic romances she wrote under the name ‘Victoria Holt’ and her massive ‘Daughters of England’ saga, spanning more than four centuries, for which she used the pseudonym ‘Philippa Carr’.
		Beyond the Blue Mountains (1958) is an untypical Plaidy title, a rousing 'blockbuster' chronicling the lives of three generations of women, beginning in the mid-eighteenth century with the ordeals of young Kitty Kennedy and her illegitimate daughter as they go from Newgate Jail to the prison colonies of Australia.
		It is an astonishing achievement to satisfy her legions of fans, Plaidy had, since 1952, produced two novels a year, but in 1981 and ‘82 she had raised her output to three books a year in order to finish her great work.

		Jean Plaidy is the pen name of the prolific English author Eleanor Hibbert, also known as Victoria Holt and Philippa Carr.
		Legendary historical novelist Jean Plaidy begins her tales of Henry VIII’s queens with the story of his first wife, the Spanish princess Katharine of Aragon.
		In this "memoir" by Elizabeth I, legendary historical novelist Jean Plaidy reveals the Virgin Queen as she truly was: the bewildered, motherless child of an all-powerful father; a captive in the Tower of London; a shrewd politician; a lover of the arts; and eventually, an icon of an era.

	Jean Plaidy - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Jean Plaidy was a pen name of British author Eleanor Hibbert, also known as Philippa Carr and Victoria Holt.
		Hibbert, as Plaidy, was probably the most popular British historical novelist of the 20th century, and possibly of all time.
		She wrote over eighty historical novels, which nowadays tend to be disparaged by serious enthusiasts of history and more elevated historical fiction, but which served the useful purpose of bringing historical figures and events to a wider readership.

	Bookbug on the Web - Victoria Holt
		Eleanor Alice Burford Hibbert, better known to readers as Victoria Holt, Philippa Carr, and Jean Plaidy, was one of the world's most beloved and enduring authors.
		Her career spanned five decades and she was heralded as the "Queen of Romantic Suspense." The evolution of this sub-genre of romance began when her first bestseller, MISTRESS OF MELLYN (labeled "gothic romance"), was published in 1960.
		She also continued to write historical fiction under the name of Jean Plaidy and romantic suspense as Victoria Holt—up until the time of her death on January 18, 1993.

		My reason for this is that they are written for younger readers, and would introduce kids to Jean Plaidy's great work earlier, as well as get them interested in Royal history.
		The next Jean Plaidy title that we'll be reissuing is THE COURTS OF LOVE, which was book 5 in her Queens of England series.
		It's the story of Eleanor of Aquitaine, who after Elizabeth I is probably my favorite of all the English queens (well, she wasn't English herself, but she was Queen of England!).

		And Plaidy, true to form, plops the story right into the middle of history-in-the-making, where Jane Shore is driven by her passion to love first Edward IV and then finds herself in quite a bind, again and again.
		I really enjoy how Plaidy doesn't gloss over anything in her novels about the lives her characters live.

	Welcome - Irene Goodman Literary Agency, book agents based in New York City
		But it was Jean Plaidy I stumbled on and there was card after card listing her works, so off I went to the east corner of the public library and discovered not just a shelf or two, but a downright wall of Jean Plaidy titles.
		And it turned out that Jean Plaidy's novels were all out of print in the U.S. When I discovered this, I felt awful-like when you learn that an old friend who you haven't seen for many years has suddenly died.
		The relaunch was so successful on this side of the Atlantick that one of my colleagues in the UK has bought the entire 90-title backlist and will be reissuing Plaidy's books in her home country, where they've been out of print for years.
