| "The child, thought the ambassadors, was delightful, "singularly beautiful.".." (from the first line) Weir has tirelessly made her way through the entire labyrinth of Tudor history to tell the collective story of the six wives of Henry VIII--a vivid, full-blooded portrait of six very different women--in a work of sound and brilliant scholarship. Illustrations.
Annotation:
This history of the reign of King Henry VIII of England is told through the lives of his wives--Katherine of Aragon, Anne Boleyn, Jane Seymour, Anne of Cleves, Katherine Howard, and Katherine Parr.
