Sorry this is a little late! The last few weeks have continued the trend of 2024 – going by in a blur!
Not a whole lot this month, but I wanted to go ahead and do a post (however late it may be).
Books
Here’s one I missed late month, and one that I think I need to get as I continue to dream about doing a Tudor garden… deep in the heart (and heat) of Texas – Tudor and Stuart Royal Gardens: Displays of Majesty by David Jacques was released in mid-April in the UK and will be out in June in the US.
And new this month, Estelle Paranque’s newest book, Thorns, Lust and Glory: The betrayal of Anne Boleyn was released a couple of days ago in the UK and will be out in November in the US.
Events
Two Tudor history related plays are on at the Barons Court Theatre in London in May, if you’re in the area!
The first, Three Queens, opened in April and runs through May 11. It’s set in February 1554 and focuses on Queen Mary I, Jane Grey, and the future Elizabeth I.
And the second is The Nine-Day Queen which will run from May 14-19. It tells the story of a modern-day young woman and the lessons she learns from a hallucination of the ghost of Lady Jane Grey.
