England: Tudor, York, Lancaster
Book Lovers
Antonia Fraser might be better know to usfor Marie Antoinette: The Journey but prior to that she wrote
The Wives of Henry VIII 
and Mary Queen of Scots 
.
And then there's Alison Weir
, a historical writer whomay sometimes be considered a tad muddled when it comes to the facts. See The Lost Boleyns - Thomas and Henry Boleyn as one example.In any case, I found her recent The Lady in the Tower: The Fall of Anne Boleyn quite interesting. I had just decided to give up my grudge against Thomas Cromwell after reading Wolf Hall: A Novel
by Hilary Mantel , when Ms Weir made the case that Cromwell was the person most responsible for the downfall of Anne Boleyn . Back came my loathing of Cromwell!!I also enjoyed The Princes in the Tower , though you never do get a satisfactory answeras to whotheir murderer(s)was/were and of course
The Six Wives of Henry VIII 
. After all, it seems you just can't read enough about Henry and his wives 
) 
and I'm looking forward to more!
