Erickson, Carolly

Devotees of Erickson's work and of the Tudors will happily add this book to their to-read lists. [See Prepub Alert 4/8/13.]

Having published The Last Wife of Henry VIII (among other works, both fiction and nonfiction, about female royalty), Erickson backtracks to tell the story of Jane Seymour, third wife of Henry VIII, who married him somewhat reluctantly days after Anne Boleyn's unceremonious beheading and died giving birth to the male heir he so wanted...

Historical fiction fans can't get enough of the Tudors; this engaging story is a worthy addition to the genre. [Library marketing.]
