About this title

From the Publisher:

Praise for The Autobiography of Henry VIII:

"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
