Hello October! We’re starting into my favorite time of year (and not just because it won’t feel like the surface of the sun outside…)
Books
We have one book that has already been out for a while in the UK that is now coming out in the US, as well as a couple of new releases!
Mary Boleyn: The Queen’s Slandered Sister by Sylvia Barbara Soberton came out back in May in the UK and will be out on October 20 in the US.
And in new releases, Amy Licence’s latest Philip II: The King, the Man, the Marriages will be out in the UK at the end of October and is due out next year in the US.
And finally, England’s Bears: The Blood and Glory of the House of Warwick by Aaron Manning will be out in early October in the UK and in May in the US.
Continuing Exhibitions
Peterborough Cathedral, the original burial place of Mary Queen of Scots, will have an exhibition about the queen that will run from September 15, 2026 to November 15, 2026. More information and ticket sales are available at this link.
Hever Castle is hosting a new exhibition, Capturing a Queen: The Image of Anne Boleyn which “brings together the largest ever gathering of portraits believed to depict Anne Boleyn, including a ground-breaking newly identified contemporary image unveiled for the first time.” The exhibition will run from February 11, 2026 to January 2, 2027 and is included with admission to the castle.
