Anne Boleyn, An Illustrated Life of Henry VIII's Queen by Roland Hui


 I can never resist reading books about this fascinating, much-beloved Queen! Roland Hui provides an excellent introduction to her life, filled with illustrations. It is thoroughly researched, and sympathetic to Anne. I especially liked the emphasis on how religious Anne was, and the behaviour that she expected from her ladies-in-waiting. Hui describes her clever, creative and temperamental character, and her relationship with the King beautifully. The book also contains interesting details about her relationship with her daughter, the future Gloriana.

I received this free ebook from NetGalley in return for an honest review.
