Fraser, Antonia

My interest in the tudors started when I read 'The Other Boleyn Girl', and I got even more fascinated after reading 'The Boleyn Inheritance'. That led me to watch 'The Tudors'. I managed to catch the first two seasons, and will find time (soon, hopefully) to watch the third season. And after much googling, wiki-ing and amazoning, I came across Antonia Fraser (and I thought only Philippa Gregory could make history interesting!). She is the author of 'Marie Antoinette: The Journey', in which Sofia Coppola's movie was based on (watched it for thirty minutes earlier before hubby claimed the tv for football).


I should have bought it earlier when I first saw it in the bookstores. This particular edition is now difficult to get and can be quite costly.


Second best would be this edition..


I would also love to know more about this other french king..
And of course I certainly would like to read from AF's perspectives 'The Six Wives of Henry VIII'. Sometimes I feel that people those days are more promiscuous, especially the royalties.
And lastly, I would like get to know this Queen Mary better.
