Joanna Denny - Anne Boleyn

[Cerridwen]

So many books have been written about this very famous Queen, and I have read many and never get bored with this very famous story, some told quite differently.

Its interesting how some can make Anne to look a not very nice person, while some can make her look the complete opposite. Personally I feel this book falls into the latter, and if you are a fan of Tudor history or even if not this is a very interesting look at Anne's life.

This was beautifully written by Ms. Denny and she has also written a similar book about Katherine Howard, I hope she write similar books on all of Henry VIII's wives.

Thanks Clare - another one I'd like to get one day. It certainly is an interesting story, especially with all the different viewpoints and opinions. :)

I've always been fascinated by Anne Boleyn, so I think I may have to look this one up!

I've also loved the story of Anne Boleyn, and, just like Clare, I never get bored of the story around it. Yesterday at Hever Castle I bought a card which contained three of her letters to Henry VIII and I have several books about the Tudors.

That's pretty cool, TIger. 've never visited Hever, but I'd love to. I think I shall have to try & convince Dale to take me on holiday somewhere near there next year...

I went to Hever a few weeks ago but, we didn't have time to go round the castle so settled for a drink in the Henry VIII inn :D

Its so beautiful round there and I've been to the castle a few times.

Those letters sound wonderful Tiger :)

Hever was beautiful!! (despite a couple of torrential downpours!! LOL)

There was also a medieval theme for the day, which included arcery, madrigal singing, music and dancing!! The whole family loved it - Tiger especially as she is fascinated by the whole Tudor era. To see it in context for her, really made her day :D

[Cerridwen]

Sounds brilliant, I've heard of the medievel days they sound brilliant, have to get hubby to take me down there :D

[Tiger]

I loved the Tudor women dancing display that we saw. It was absalutely fantastic! 8-)

I'm off to Hever Castle on Friday, its supposed to be quite hot as well so hopefully a good day in store :D

[Michelle]

Oh, have fun:D
I'm planning a trip with the girls in the summer holidays.

You'd love to visit Southsea Castle then, Henry VIII had it built and its full of history and great to look around :wink:
