Anne Boleyn by Evelyn Anthony (1957)

Amazing; a superb book, a captivating read.

Evelyn is an outstanding writer and I can't wait to read another of her writings.

We don't know just how good looking Anne was but Evelyn one a hot number!

So the King becomes more and more full of himself and is spirited on by Anne in his Supremacy quest.
Unwittingly she is finished off by the very omnipotence she promoted

He seems to unload all of his friends from an early age and so ends up quite alone.

If the Church of England was invented for no other reason than to facilitate a divorce its no wonder there was so much hatred, even till today.

We often feed upon our own success and VIII was no exception, after the painful "nice" exile of wife 1, wife 2 was handled in a much more expeditious manner.

Wow this is why we don't have Kings

Winter's Tales by Baroness Karen von Blixen (Isak Dinesen) (1942)

Again some short stories they don't always allow the reader full depth.
But I do love the Baroness' style; there are times when a whole paragraph it made of 5 word sentences; so compact, precise, and efficient.

Nice 1st ed

1942

Our girl was a very smart / educated person; her understanding of human nature and far more interesting the nature of the wealthy and the privileged classes is amazing. Her portal into the mind of the High born and of the bigot born is excellent.

However the tales are mostly sad.
