I was really looking forwards to this book, I am an avid reader of anything to do with Tudor history and the wars of the roses and as there is relatively little written on the early years of Henry VIII I was keen to discover more about his personality, his friendships, his marriage, his life and what made him into the tyrant most people recognise him as. Starkey's introduction was promising, I was chomping at the bit to get into this book, but it never really got going for me. Maybe I have read too much on the subject and it was all old news to me, there were little nuggets but no real meaty information.
It is possible, of course, that there is no documented evidence other than what Starkey bought to his book, or that he did not want ... Read More: >>More Details |

This is an excellent book! I've read it dozens of times and it maintains its fascination. Weir's writing style is so fluid and easy to read that I've since bought many other titles written by her.

Nice anthology of curiosities and anecdotes about the Queen and her family, very readable and funny. You'll learn about the beloved corgies, food and drink, cars and driving habits, horses and the Windsors' Christmas.
There are also some hilarious drawings at the beginning of each chapter. I loved the ones showing the Queen with her corgies, so funny! >>More Details |

So much has been written about Queen Elizabeth I and her glorious reign, but it seems that her life prior to coronation is glossed over. This book concentrates on her birth, early childhood and adolescence. It helps to explain many of her later idiosyncracies. Her early years were uncertain and changeable. One moment Princess Elizabeth, the next just Lady Elizabeth. In adolescence, years spent in The Tower at her sisters disposition! Such a dramatic childhood and youth need a separate book dedicated solely to them. This is that book. It reads very smoothly and ends tantalisingly just as Elizabeth's reign begins. Highly recommended.

Ingrid Seward is one of the most famous royal biographer. All her books are written with deep inside, understanding, passion and loyalty. She understands the ins and outs of royal life and is able to transmit this to her readers. This book is no exception from this rule. So one learns and awful lot about the two princes and of course of the whole Royal Family. Even tough the princes are often labelled as "Diana's boys" they are very much as well "Windsor boys". She makes that cristal clear. I believe she is right about this. The controversy of the War of the Wales play into the whole biography, especially in the first years of the lives of the two princes. And there is much to think about what they had to endure. It seems to me that Ingrid Seward is less ... Read More: >>More Details |

Zara Phillips: A Revealing Portrait of a Royal World Championby: Brian Hoey July 03, 2008 Best Selling > Books > British Royalty |

This book glossed over Zara's eventing career, preferring to focus on her relationships with the rest of the royal family and how this has shaped her life.
To be honest there is probably less than a chapter's worth about her riding and fantastic partnership with Toytown which is a real shame. A good read if you want to know the in's & out's of a royal childhood but disappointing if you are looking for details of Zara's life in the eventing world. >>More Details |

Eleanor of Aquitaine was the queen of Louis VII of France and later Henry II of England. she was the mother of two English kings, Richard the Lionheart and John. France and England fought for many years over her vast French estates.
Eleanor was one of the most fable women of the Middle Ages and also one of the more controversial. Beautiful, wilful, strong, intelligent, passionate and a famed lover. Much scandal was attached to her name, much of it with more than a little substance. She seems to have had more than a few paramours while married to both kings, including Geoffrey of Anjou, father to her second husband, Henry II of England, while she was still married to Louis VI of France. She was a great patron of troubadour poetry, inspiring ... Read More: >>More Details |

I have been looking for a truly historical analysis that neither confinces this complex character to one chapter in a book on the reign of Henry VIII, portrays her as a saucy temptress nor eulogises her in sickeningly romantic tones in the manner of the unprofessional outpourings of Joanna Denney, who should be ashamed to call herself a historian with a one-sided diatribe such as England's Tragic Queen.
This book is it. A well researched and analysed construction, that really builds up the layers of historical evidence to present a picture of Anne Boleyn's life, character, and influence, and shows an interest in considering whether there was any merit in the charges that led to her death. I this is quite simply a must for anyone interested in getting as close ... Read More: >>More Details |

I got my book today, and I've just put it away. What a magnificent read!
It is full of rare, and even never seen before pictures, stories behind the pictures, letters of the Prince, and many, many other interesting stuff! It really does give you an insight into the life of the Prince of Wales. A very good mini-biography. It's main emphasize is on the pictres though, so if you expect a long and thick book, full of psycological reviews, buy another book. But if you look for a light, yet in-depth look into the life of Prince Charles through pictures & short stories, this book is just for you. For a Royal fan, or just anyone interested in Royalty or the Prince of Wales, this book is a true find. I really LOVE it. >>More Details |
