Almost 3.5 or 4, but the editors made sloppy mistakes & critical omissions. Ex: p. 359: 1846-1847 [A.D.], instead of 1546-1547; p. 373: we’re told that Kateryn Parr died of puerperal fever, which most YA readers (and older ones, I’d venture) would not know about or understand, especially since we’re not told that she married Seymour after Henry’s death, got pregnant, and died shortly after having a daughter; p. 380: Henry VIII ruled England a few months shy of 38 years, not “almost thirty-six,” as erroneously stated; just to name a few of the errors I found.

Erica 📚 Did you also notice that two of the authors took completely different stances on whether or not Henry was involved in the plot against Anne Boleyn?


Louis Muñoz Hi Erica, just now, a few days plus four years later, seeing your post, sorry, and thanks!! You know, I don't think I did notice those different takes, many thanks as well for sharing that!
