This book took me quite a long time to read, but was well worth it. It is full of information about all 6 of King Henry VIII's wives although the longer chapters are about his first wife Catherine and his second wife Anne Boleyn. The author did a lot of research before writing this book and it shows with all the details he provides about each woman. We learn about each womans family background, her likes and dislikes, her clothing preferences and he even provides us with detailed descriptions about her lodgings and her day to day life. The best part was how he went into detail about all the ceremonies the women went through, he supplied all the details as to where, when, crowns, jewels, clothing etc.

The only thing I found a little off about this book was that sometimes he would say that historians were not sure as certain dates/ceremonies (the details were a little fuzzy), but he, the all knowing author, knew how it really happened but yet really provided no true evidence.

I enjoyed reading this book and would recommend it to anyone who is interested in the Tudor family or in King Henry VIII. Enjoy!
