The Six Wives of Henry VIII
5 journalers for this copy...
This book took me ages to read. I think it was because I was constantly having to re-read the parts that were taken from documents in the 1500's to understand what was being said. I did enjoy the book though, and learnt quite alot about the Henry VIII and his wives.

600 pages of Tudor goodness! I loved this. I always enjoy anything about The Tudors, there is no one more fascinating in history. I remember first learning about them in Primary school and have been hooked ever since.
I think Alison did a really good job of trying to stay unbiased, however I got the feeling she doesn't care for Jane Seymour but then who does much. She my least favourite out of all of them. Although I've read much about Anne Boleyn and Katherine of Aragon, you don't always get much information about the other wives, which is a shame as they are all so interesting in their own right. It was nice to fill in some of the gaps and see things from new perspectives.
This book is written so it reads like fiction. I didn't find any of it dull and it kept momentum throughout. I would recommend to Tudor fans. I wonder how Henry would feel, knowing that he is not remembered most for any great battle but for his wives? I'm not sure he would be happy about that!
