Eleanor Burford

[paigenumber]

I did not know that of the many pseudonyms that Eleanor Burford wrote under, she used Jean Plaidy most often. When I was first introduced to her books, under the name Victoria Holt, I thought Holt was her real name. Later, when I came across a Philippa Carr book, it said it was a pseudonym for Victoria Holt, which further embedded the notion. Some time after, I ran across a Jean Plaidy, and it also said it was a pseudonym for Victoria Holt. Imagine my surprise when I later discovered they were all pseudonyms for Eleanor Hibbert, nee Burford. She wrote under her real name as well, but they are lesser known works. Recently, I discovered that she was most prolific writing as Jean Plaidy, concentrating on romances involving the British monarchs. Since I have always concentrated more on the "gothic" side, I have yet to explore these other historical romances. Has anyone read any of them?
