iwishiwereanne, Welcome. I hope you enjoy the Anne Boleyn Files. I love the people here. We have a great time learning about all thing Anne (and the Tudor era). The Tudors are exciting people, aren't they!

Being interested in Anne, I recommend reading Eric Ives The Life and Death of Anne Boleyn. Great book about a great lady.

Welcome to the AB Files and forum iwishiwereanne! Smile

Whereabouts in England are you from? I'm a Brit too.

You've come to the right place, we are all passionate about Tudor history, particularly Anne Boleyn's story, and I look forward to hearing your thoughts and opinions. I'd second DuchessofBrittany's recommendation, Eric Ives' biography of Anne is the best out there.

Hi iwishiwereanne and welcome. I hope you enjoy the site as much as the rest of us.  I agree with Claire and Duchessof Brittany, that Eric Ives book, “The Life and Death of Anne Boleyn” is a must read.  Another must read, is David Starkey's, “Six Wives, The Queens of Henry VIII.”

I not long finished the Autobiography of Henry VIII by Margaret George.  I thought it was a brilliant book, a bit heavy going sometimes, but worth the read!  It took me about 6 months to finish LOL  It was nice to hear Henrys “side of the story” (even if it was only a novel)

I dont know about any books about places to visit to be honest, but I just stumbled across a place for me to visit about 36 miles from my home that i didnt know exsited, that Henry & Catherine Howard visited/stayed at!!!  Im planning a visit in the spring/summer when the weather improves.

Hi and welcome, iwishiwereanne! I too agree about Eric Ives' book. Hands-down best nonfic book about Anne, no comparison. Anyway, welcome, and Merry Christmas!
