    <body><![CDATA[This book took me well over a month to finish but it was engaging.  I was glad to learn more of the details surrounding Henry VIII's first wife--I didn't know they were married well over twenty years before he broke from the Pope and had the marriage annulled.  Next time I visit the Tower of London,...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/45991765">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[One of my new favorite authors is Jean Plaidy.  Apparently, she wrote many dozens of books that were published years ago.  Most have been difficult to get a hold of, but some are being published again, much to my enjoyment.  It's amazing how she works out the politics involved, much like one of my o...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/15938770">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[This book is actually 3 of Jean Plaidy's novels about Katherine of Aragon in one.  I really enjoyed this!  If you like historical fiction, or Philippa Gregory's novels (The Other Boleyn Girl) you'll enjoy this one.  Plaidy's Tudor series was originally published back in the 60's, and most of them ha...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/32837168">more...</a>]]></body>
