description: A+... I was so happy to read and learn about Henry's mother.<br /><br />[A] solid, well-told, enjoyable read.<br /><br />A lovely story...

Elizabeth is an interesting woman and her story is definitely a unique one!<br /><br />The <i>Tudor Rose</i> is a wonderful historical read and well worth curling up with for immersion into another world.<br /><br />Campbell Barnes' writing and story telling shine.<br /><br />If you love Historical Fiction or the Tudors, you cannot go wrong by picking up this book.
