THE KING'S PLEASURE by Norah Lofts

From the moment of Katherine's betrothal to Arthur, Prince of Wales, she looked upon herself as the future Queen of England. But Arthur died just after their marriage and it was as the wife of his brother, Henry Vlll, that she went to her coronation.

This delightful, richly tapestried novel tells of her life with Henry - the many happy years; the birth of their daughter, Mary Tudor; her popularity with the people and, above all, her constant and unswerving love for the King. But after nearly twenty years, Henry, his eyes fixed firmly on the ambitious young Anne Boleyn, repudiated their marriage, submitted Katherine to the humiliations of a 'trial' and banished her from his life.

The King's Pleasure is a brilliant re-creation of one of history's greatest tragedies. A story which will impress Katherine in the reader's mind as a noble woman and great Queen.

Soft cover, good condition. Very minor signs of wear.
