Henry VIII N Brysson MorrisonJanuary 26, 2008 Cooper's Antiques(Maryville, TN) 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
Miss Morrison is the same author who did the book "Mary, Queen of Scots". She does a beautiful job portraying the life of Henry VIII. Few Monarchs like Henry VIII have had a private life so public as his. History and contemporary gossip have busied themselves with the stories of his wives. However this book brings out the true story about Henry. For nearly 20 years (1/2 of his reign) Henry led an almost blameless married life with his first wife. Miss Morrison covers each of the Queens and walks you through Henry's Biography in an eminently readable book with vividness and sharpness.
The author of this book is an experienced biographer and novelist as well as a born and bred Scotswoman who can trace her ancestry back to the time of William of Orange. At the time of this book, Miss Morrison still lived in Scotland and did all her writing deep in the Countryside.
"The Private Life of Henry VIII" was her 15th book. It is a tremendous work.
