![]() ![]() Now, in her magnificent work of storytelling and imagination Margaret George bring us Henry VIII's story as he himself might have told it, in memoirs interspersed with irreverent comments from his jester and confident, Will Somers. Much has been written about the mighty, egotistical Henry VIII: the man who dismantled the Church because it would not grant him the divorce he wanted who married six women and beheaded two of them who executed his friend Thomas More who sacked the monasteries who longed for a son and neglected his daughters, Mary and Elizabeth who finally grew fat, disease-ridden, dissolute. Evocatively written in the first person as Henry VIII's private journals, the novel was the product of fifteen years of meticulous research and five handwritten drafts. ![]() The Autobiography of Henry VIII is the magnificent historical novel that established Margaret George's career. Pages are clean, unmarked, and tightly bound to spine. Other than moderate outward bend to covers and spine, book is in great condition. ![]()
