Every entry is accompanied by a short history, directions, and visitor information as well as a full description of what is left to see, whether the place is still standing or whether only a few desolate ruins mark the site where it once stood. As a Tudor tour in words and pictures, one could hardly ask for more. Over three hundred pages of packed text are supplemented by two comprehensive sections of plates, one in colour, one in black and white.
The last few years have seen a steady outpouring of Tudor royal biography. Among those we particularly recommend are an excellent overview of all the Queens, [[The Six Wives & Many Mistresses of Henry VIII: The Women's Stories by Amy Licence]]; a detailed and sympathetic life of the first, [[Catherine of Aragon: An Intimate Life of Henry VIII's True Wife by Amy Licence]] and of the last, [[Katherine the Queen: The Remarkable Life of Katherine Parr by Linda Porter]]; and a full account of the second's arrest, trial and execution, [[The Lady in the Tower: The Fall of Anne Boleyn by Alison Weir]]. We also enjoyed [[The King's Pearl: Henry VIII and His Daughter Mary by Melita Thomas]].
