What Tudor themed books are on your Christmas List?

These are on mine:

-Elizabeth I: Collected Works
-The Tudor Housewife by Alison Sim
-The Six Wives of Henry VIII by D. M. Loades (I have all the other Six wives books LOL)
- Henry VIII's Last Victim: The Life and Times of Henry Howard, Earl of Surrey by Jessie Childs ( I have been trying to find a copy of this and not been successful so far)
- Dreaming the English Renaissance by Carole Levin
- The Tudor Chronicles (Quercus Chronicles) by Susan Doran ( I really really want this one)

 Do you find this valuable?

I would also like The Tudor Chronicles by Susan Doran. I have three of the others on your list MsSquirrly already including Henry VIII's Last Victim - which I think is very good. Do you find this valuable?

The other two I have are The Tudor Housewife by Alison Sim and The Six Wives of Henry VIII by D.M.Loades. MsSquirrly I got my copy of The Tudor Housewife at Penshurst Place - I visited there earlier this year and the David Loades book I bought at a branch of Waterstones. 1  out of 1 found this valuable. Do you?

Amazon UK have Jessie Childs' book for £8.99 new and £1.02 second hand.

Maybe you could get someone here to order it for you and you could pick it up when you visit. Do you find this valuable?
