Anne Boleyn's Tragic Story
The Executed Wife of King Henry VIII of England
Brief Gaudy Hour: A Novel of Anne Boleyn
Amazon Price: $2.50 (as of 05/28/2012)
The tragic story of Anne Boleyn is well known to most people but this fictional telling of it brings Anne to life. Flattered and courted by a king, she married him in controversial circumstances, made enemies at court and was beheaded, after only three years, at the command of her husband.
Amazon.com reviewer, H. Pederson, gave the novel five stars and said, "This novel was exceptional in it's portrayal of Anne Boleyn and the glitz and glamor of the English Tudor court..."
Memories of English Life
In a Hamlet, Village and Town
Lark Rise to Candleford: A Trilogy
Amazon Price: $9.49 (as of 05/28/2012)
Written by Flora Thompson (1876-1947), this is a fictionalised account of her experiences growing up and living as a young woman in a small hamlet, then a village and a town. The three books, combined in this edition, have been popular since they were first published between 1939 and 1943. The quiet tales of country life in the late 19th century were evocative of an England that has now disappeared.
The BBC has made a very popular TV series based on Flora Thompson's books although the series does have more of a continuous story than the books which is a memoir of the countryside traditions, work and its people.
