"Is there anything out there about Margaret of Navarre? She always seemed a deeply interesting woman."

"Thank you MsSquirrly . I have never heard of this author. Her credentials seem good though, after all, she is AN Historian, so we will just have to see. I say let's give her a chance.

"Yes ...yet another. This one is about her early life, called "ANNE BOLEYN: The Young Queen To Be" by Josephine Wilkinson. ...to be released but I have not been able to find out the date.

Here is the publisher's description :
Although Anne Boleyn is perhaps the most engaging of Henry VIII's Queens, but biographies usually concentrate on the period after she became a lady in waiting at Henry VIII's court. This is the only book to tell the forgotten side of Anne early life and loves, written by the author of the best-selling Mary Boleyn: Henry VIII's Favourite Mistress. For her he would divorce his wife of some twenty years standing, he would take on the might of the Roman Church and the Holy Roman Empire; he would even alienate his own people in order to win her favor and, eventually, her hand.

But before Henry came into her life Anne Boleyn had already wandered down love's winding path. She had learned its twists and turns during her youth spent at the courts of the Low Countries and France, where she had been sent as a result of her scandalous behavior with her father's butler and chaplain. Here her education had been directed by two of the strongest women of the age - and one of the weakest.

*I have to say I don't hold out much hope for this book after her other books and this unsubstantiated scandal

"I was reading that exchange of e mails, there. In amongst the mutual back slapping, there were some good points there. especially with regards to the Richard III society. They tend to be rather domineering, and tell people what to the think with regards to the Princes, etc.

As for Josephine, I don't trust the judgement of anyone who believes in ghosts."
