    <body><![CDATA[I really enjoyed the documentary TV series based on this book, which aired on PBS a few years ago, and did much reading on Wikipedia afterward, trying to fill in some of the gaps.  So when I saw the book a few months later ON SALE (only $6.99 - hardcover!) in my local book store, I snapped it up.  W...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/4460092">more...</a>]]></body>

He takes a feminist view and questions some of the more common attitudes regarding the queens. He's particularly sympathetic about Jane Seymour.<br/>...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/62031087">more...</a>]]></body>
