A Journey Through Tudor England
A Journey Through Tudor England: Hampton Court Palace and the Tower of London to Stratford-upon-Avon and Thornbury Castle | Suzannah Lipscomb
5 posts | 6 read | 6 to read
From King Henry VII to Queen Elizabeth I, this detailed English history brings the past to life through the sights and personalities of the Tudor dynasty. This lively and engaging book will transport the armchair traveler with a taste for the colorful time of Henry VIII and Thomas Moore to palaces, castles, theaters, and abbeys to uncover the stories behind the politically dynamic Tudor era. Author Suzannah Lipscomb visits more than fifty historic sites, from the luxurious palace at Hampton Court, where dangerous intrigue was rife, to lesser known estates such as Hever Castle, Anne Boleyns childhood home, and Tutbury Castle, where Mary, Queen of Scots, was imprisoned. In the corridors of power and the courtyards of country houses, we meet the passionate but tragic Kateryn Parr, Henry VIIIs last wife, and Lady Jane Grey, the NineDays Queen, and we come to understand how Sir Walter Raleigh planned his trip to the New World. A Journey Through Tudor England reveals the rich history of the Tudors and paints a vivid, captivating picture of what it would have been like to see England through their eyes. It is a genuinely useful and discriminating guide for all Tudor fans (Hilary Mantel, author of Wolf Hall).

Good. Interesting as you get a tour round not just all the royal palaces but places that were significant during the tumultuous period that was the Tudor. Easy to read and very informative.

✨I finished reading The Guest Room today (RTC next week on my blog) and now I‘m ready for some #nonfiction ! I don‘t read enough books that are nonfiction or #historical and I know I‘d enjoy reading more of it. So I‘m going to start #ajourneythroughtudorengland by #suzannahlipscomb later tonight. ✨
