Description

Great Harry: A Life of King Henry VIII by Carolly Erickson. After the enthusiastic critical reception of her book Bloody Mary, Carolly Erickson's dazzling gifts for historical colour and detail are brought to bear on Mary's father, Henry VIII - Great Harry. The contours of the legend are familiar enough - an outsized man, stout and formidable, a royal satyr indulging his lusts and decapitating his discarded wives, a tyrannical ruler sweeping aside venerable institutions at his erratic whim. In the words of a contemporary, he was 'undoubtedly the rarest man that lived in his time'.
