British History: Wives of Henry VIII

Henry VIII's Wives by Julie Wheeler

Concise.  Clear-cut.  Straight to the point.  No opinions or outside commentary.  Just a basic telling of the 6 wives of Henry VIII.  Still, very interesting, at least it is to me.  I'm fascinated by all of this.  The one part that always confuses me and makes so me upset is how so many of the women have such similar names:  Anne, Mary, Katherine, Jane.  They didn't have a lot of variations as far as names for women went in the 16th Century.  It's no wonder that even someone like me who loves all things British can easily get confused as to which woman is which at what time and which woman did what when.  Overall, this book is a nice simple explanation of Henry VIII's wives that helps keep the women straight, at least better than some other sources I've read in the past.  It even includes some pictures.  None of which are very attractive, but, well, it was the 16th century.....
