Title: Entertaining History
Review: I really enjoyed this history of Henry VIII's wives. It was well written, interesting, and well researched. It's facinating to realize how much history has been saved through letters written during that time. If I had any quibble with the book it would be to agree with another one of the reviewers who said that the timeline was sometimes confusing. The author would jump forward and backward in time when talking about each wife. For example, she might discuss banquets that were thrown over a period of ten years and then hop back to talk about clothing from the beginning of those ten years. I wish she had used more examples of "three years into their marriage" rather than actual dates, because I sometimes had a hard time grasping how much time had passed between wives and events.Other than that it was a very informative and well written book.
