Book review: The Private Lives Of The Tudors

THE glittering, jewel-encrusted private world of Britain’s five Tudor monarchs returns gloriously in these pages.

Tracy Borman, author of an acclaimed biography of Thomas Cromwell, Henry VIII’s right-hand man, has done it again and produced a well-researched and highly readable social history.

The Tudor rulers were Henry VII, Henry VIII, Mary Tudor, Edward VI and Elizabeth I.
