The Six Wives of Henry VIII
344pp. Illustrated. First published in 1937 and translated into English from the original French by Una Lady Troubridge. Brown cloth-covered boards with gilt titles (square, sharp, clean, bright). Internally neat, clean, tight and bright. Slightly dusty top edge. In its original dust jacket (very slightly bumped at edges). This famous work on Henry VIII, which brings a European perspective to a very English monarch, puts his wives - their power, influence and downfalls - at centre stage of the Tudor court.
