The Queen of Subtleties: A Novel of Anne Boleyn 29 reviews Suzannah Dunn
Harper Paperbacks, 2005
Disappointed like the rest of you
I am an Anne-phile, and I was diappointed with this book like everyone else seems to be. The major problem with this book is that Dunn did not create a sixteenth century atmosphere for this book. Anne could have been recounting her story in the 20/21st century for all her reader knows. (Except that ...

Blood Royal 1 review Mollie Hardwick
St Martins Pr, 1989
Romantic Tudor History!
I enjoyed this novel very much. A very fast read. There are a few little historical inaccuracies which were sacrificed to tell the story, but it didn't distract me too much, and won't bother you unless you know alot about Tudor History. The one thing I didn't care for was the fact that the book ...

Tudor Story: The Return of Anne Boleyn 2 reviews W. S. Pakenham-Walsh
James Clarke Company, 1963
Tudor Story: The Return of Anne Boleyn
This is an interesting book for the devoted Anne Boleyn fan only. It is the story of one man's contact with the spirit of Anne in the twentieth century. Mr. Pakenham-Walsh is cleary very sincere about his belief in his experiences, but some readers may find them a little fanciful. This is not a ...

This book accurately depicts the life of Anne Boleyn after meeting Henry VIII, her life as Catherine of Aragon's maid of honor, her struggle to become Queen of England, and her struggle to maintain that status by delivering Henry an heir.

Mademoiselle Boleyn 26 reviews Robin Maxwell
NAL Trade, 2007
Vivid, interesting and shocking
+ Very good + Overall good read/poratrait of Anne's early life
For those die-hard Phillipa Gregory (ala "The Other Boleyn Girl") fans, this book seems to historically contradict what Anne Boleyn did as a child. I am sure the historical facts are well researched (who am I to contend them? I just read the stuff, not study it.) but there are basic tenets that do ...

Tudor Sisters (Severn House Large Print) Aileen Armitage
Severn House Publishers, 2006
A beautiful moth flutters too close to the candle of Henry VIII's brilliance - Fair and loving, devoid of ambition, Mary Boleyn was exploited by men who found her desirable: by Francis I, King of France, who taught her how to love; and by England's virile young King Henry VIII. For a time, she held Henry's ardent heart, and she bore him a son, but his fickle eye was already upon her cleverer ...
