4.0 out of 5 stars
A book that shows the mystique of an historical castle.,
By
This review is from: Windsor Castle (New Portway Reprints) (Hardcover)
This little book is a blend of robustness and full-blooded adventure with a good deal of history intertwined within the story. The book covers the happenings within Windsor Castle between 1529 and 1536. A seven-year span that saw the rise and fall of Anne Boleyn, and the ascendancy of Jane Seymour in King Henry VIII's life. There are an awful lot of characters in this book, but at this time in England's history large castles like Windsor were home and life to a small community. Ainsworth does a very good job of portraying these historical figures in his book. His character portraits, and his descriptions of castle life put the reader right into the picture.
