I’m often asked for book recommendations on Anne Boleyn and it seems appropriate to share this recommendation on the anniversary of Eric Ives’ death seeing as he wrote my all-time favourite book on her: The Life and Death of Anne Boleyn.

Eric has spoken on our tours twice now and has thoroughly enjoyed meeting tour attendees and talking about Anne Boleyn. In July he stopped his talk and apologised for the length of it and […]

Words fail me (that’s rather unusual!) because as I sit here in my room I’m struggling with how to get across to you the magic of today… I’ll try… Sunshine and showers were forecast for today but the rain held off until a few minutes ago, as I’m on my way to bed, so we […]
