'This six-book series looks likely to become a landmark in historical fiction' The Times Alison Weir, historian and author of the Sunday Times bestsellers Katherine of Aragon: The True Queen, Anne Boleyn: A King's Obsession and Jane Seymour: The Haunted Queen, draws a spellbinding portrait of Anna of Kleve, Henry VIII's fourth queen, as you've never seen her before. What secrets did Anna of Kleve hold? 'Alison Weir makes history come alive as no one else' Barbara Erskine 'Weir is excellent on the little details that bring a world to life' Guardian

Very good. Shows a different side to the queen that everyone remembers as the one that wasn't what Henry VIII thought. Very well written and has given me a new perspective on this subject. Recommended.

Need your advice please.

This is the situation: I bought a signed copy of this book when it was released but since then I have bought tickets to a BBC History weekend talk about this from the author and there maybe a signing at the end of the talk. Do I take this book and get it double signed or do I take a book in this series that I have that wasn't pre signed even though the talk is about this book? Thoughts please 😘📚📖

Librarybelle I think it would be fine to take a book from the series to the event. I‘ve seen others do this at author book signings, and no one had questioned it. 5y
Birdsong28 @Librarybelle Thanks for the the advice 😘📚📖 5y
TrishB Definitely would just take another one- I‘ve done this before and it was fine. As long as you don‘t pull a library out of your bag! 5y
Birdsong28 @TrishB Thanks for the advice. It's tempting! But I will be taking The Five by Hallie Rubenhold and a book by Sussanah Lipscombe as well as I will be attending talks by them so I won't have the room! 📚 📖 5y
TrishB lol 😂 5y

GingerAntics Oh you got it a day early. Love it. (edited) 5y
Birdsong28 @GingerAntics It is cool when that happens, sometimes when I have pre-ordered from Waterstones I get it a week early!! 📚📖 5y
GingerAntics 😳 Wow! We need a bookstore like that, here. That‘s awesome!!! 5y
