From the Publisher:
Praise for The Autobiography of Henry VIII:
From the Inside Flap:
"A remarkable achievement.... Magnificently researched and admirably written." --Mary Stewart
"Her novel is a...banquet feast for most readers...astonishing. This is a stylistic tour de force in which the author captures the essence of sixteenth-century English speech and prose without becoming stilted in either.... There's rousing drama, robust atmosphere and consistently solid characterization; and finally Margaret George's triumph is anchored in the urgent rhythm her writing attains." --Fort Worth Star Telegram
"It doth brim with lust, violence, cruelty and lively conversation.... Margaret George has found a new and fresh way to tell a story." --Detroit Free Press
An extraordinary novel that brings into vivid focus the larger-than-life King Henry VIII, monarch of prodigious appetites for wine, women, and song. This is a readable, entertaining, tour de force that captures the essence of the Sixteenth Century, in all its drama and atmosphere. A can't-miss for readers who delight in wonderful historical fiction perfectly rendered.

Book Description Hardcover. Condition: New. First Edition. Henry VIII ascended the throne as a vigorous and handsome youth. The story of his long, turbulent reign is well documented, and many authors have used it as background for novels. But George takes a different tack than most in this first novel by telling Henry's story from his own perspective. We are given an intimate view of how it must have felt for Henry to grow up under the influence of a dour father and a frail, distant mother. When he becomes king we watch as his exuberant, trusting nature slowly turns sinister and cruel. Interspersed with Henry's words are comments by his fool, Will, a man who loved his master, served him faithfully, but saw clearly his failings. Seller Inventory # DADAX0312061455
