"This book has a misleading title. As I was reading there was looming absence - Henry VIII. You learn very little about him here - clearly his name is in the title only for selling copies. It is the sub title, "Personalities and Politics" that is more clear. You can learn here about Wolsey and Cromwell, Carew and Boleyn, minions and favorites, Dukes and Earls and Duchesses, etc. And, if you want to learn about that, this volume will probably be very interesting. But if you want to learn about King Henry VIII, you will probably want to start with a different book."
