Explore Hever Castle, Anneâ€™s childhood home where two breathtaking Books of Hours both signed and inscribed by Anne Boleyn herself are housed; visit Thornbury Castle where Henry VIII and Anne stayed during their 1535 royal progress and see the octagonal bedchamber where they slept; stand in the very room in Windsor Castle where Anne was made Marquis of Pembroke. Each location is covered by an accessible and informative narrative, which unearths the untold stories and documents the artefacts.Accompanied by an extensive range of images, including photographs, floor plans and sketches, this book brings the sixteenth century vividly to life â€“ and takes you on your own personal and compelling journey in the footsteps of Anne Boleyn.
