Welcome to Spooky Season! I’m so happy we’re in my favorite time of year, even if it isn’t quite feeling like it yet here.
New Books
First are a couple of books that I missed last month!
Birth of the Red Dragon: Wales and the Wars of the Roses by Stephen David was released in mid-September in the UK and will be out next year in the US. The book of course includes Edmund and Jasper Tudor and the future Henry VII, born in Wales at the start of the Wars of the Roses.
And Caroline Angus’ Planning the Murder of Anne Boleyn was released in early September in the UK and will be out in late October in the US.
The Tragic Life of Lady Jane Grey by Beverley Adams was also released in early September in the UK and will be released in the US at end of October.
And in new releases this month, Lady Anne Bacon: A woman of learning at the Tudor court by Deborah Spring will be out October 1 in the UK and November 1 in the US. Great to see more work on Tudor noblewomen!
Finally, Simon Sandys-Winsch has written a book that I’ve always wanted to, The Illustrated Tudor Dictionary, and it will be out at the end of October in the UK and at the end of 2024 in the US.
