Welcome to northern hemisphere summer! While I don’t really like the heat down here in Texas during these months, I do like the lighter traffic while the kids are out of school. \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n

Books<\/b><\/p>\n

I have a couple of books that I’ve missed from previous months that I stumbled across – <\/p>\n

First up is The Story of Tudor Art: A History of Tudor England Through its Art and Objects<\/i><\/b> by Christina J. Faraday that came out last fall in the UK and in May of this year in the US. I’m not sure how this one got past me!<\/p>\n

And I also missed Sylvia Barbara Soberton’s Mary Boleyn: The Queen’s Slandered Sister<\/i><\/b> that came out in May in the UK and will be out in the fall in the US.<\/p>\n

New Exhibition<\/b><\/p>\n

Well, sort of “new” since it actually opened last month, but I missed it – <\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

Philip Mould & Company<\/a> has an exhibit Elizabeth I: Queen & Court<\/b><\/a> currently on display, which opened in May and will run through July 10, 2026. Be sure to also download the PDF exhibition catalogue!<\/p>\n

Continuing Exhibition<\/b><\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

Hever Castle is hosting a new exhibition, Capturing a Queen: The Image of Anne Boleyn<\/a><\/b> 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.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
