If I could only read one of the books listed above, it would have to be the book about Henry VIII because that's my favorite historical topic. Which book would you choose?
For sure I'd read the emperor's Last Campaign. I think I'd also be interested in the story of Grace, Edward IV's daughter. I alsoknow that the book on Pauline, Nap.'s sister will be out soon.
Yes, I think the Pauline book is supposed to be published at the end of this month.
