Thanks Janet - writing about Henry's daughter Mary Tudor now
It always feels great to finish a book and having the excitement of the next adventure ahead. My Library group has just finished Prophecy which is the entire reading choice for the month of April for all the Libraries in London. We are going to have a mass reading group meeting in the Barbican centre where we hope to attract over 500 people to attend
Wow - now that's what I call a proper reading group :)
As we enjoyed our last foray into the Tudor world we are going to attempt six books in six weeks all set in Tudor London these are:1. Rebellion's message by Michael Jecks
2. Dissolution by C.J. Sansom
3. The house of Dr Dee by Peter Ackroyd
4. Holy spy by Rory Clements
5. Winter King: the dawn of Tudor England by Thomas Penn
6. Elizabeth's Spymaster by Robert Hutchinson
Bosworth 1485: After victory against King Richard III, Henry Tudor becomes King of England. Rebels and pretenders plot to seize his throne. The barons resent his plans to curb their power and he wonders who he can trust. He hopes to unite Lancaster and York through marriage to the beautiful Elizabeth of York.
With help from his mother, Lady Margaret Beaufort, he learns to keep a fragile peace. He chooses a Spanish Princess, Catherine of Aragon, as a wife for his son Prince Arthur. His daughters will marry the King of Scotland and the son of the Emperor of Rome. It seems his prayers are answered, then disaster strikes and Henry must ensure the future of the Tudors.
