Publisher Description

There were six of them - three Katherines, two Annes, and a Jane. One of them was the king's wife for 24 years, another for only a year and a half. One died, two were divorced, and two were beheaded. It was a dangerous, uncertain life.

After the King's death in 1547, his sixth wife finds a box of old letters - one from each of the first five wives. They are sad, angry, frightened letters. They tell the story of what it was like to be the wife of Henry VIII of England.

"This was actually a textbook, but I really found it a fascinating read. It gave alot of information that I didn't know about Henry VIII and his wives. It was hard to put down. The information was well researched by the author and was true. "

    " The ultimate overview of this tremendously confused and overwrought bully and his cruel and bizarre marital travails. "
