A Reader's Review: I use the story of Henry VIII and his wives to
help students learn how to take lecture notes. Why marry the big
fat gooba is the question that gets ask. Because he's the king and
you can't say no, because of the money, silks, jewels. And because
of this. I've always been one of those Tudor groupies who has a
fondness for both Katherine of Aragon and for Anne Boleyn (I also
like Anne of Cleves and Katherine Parr). I always thought that
Henry VIII believed what he said about his first marriage, though I
also think that it wasn't necessary the truth. I also don't believe
Anne Boleyn commited adultery. She doesn't strike me as that
stupid. Reading these letters from Henry to Anne, one can
understand why she married him, even if one's view of history is
that of Anne of a Thousand Days. Henry comes across as an ardent
and passionate love. The letters smolder, even in this Kindle
digtal edition. The attraction that Henry must have had in his life
comes though far more than any biography of him.
