My Lord the Fox: The Secret Documents of Anthony Woodcott Concerning Queen Elizabeth I and Anne Boleyn: A Novel

Four stars because it's been a few years since I read this book, but I remember that I liked it!What I enjoyed about this book was that the author twisted what we do know to create a great "what if" story. What if Anne Boleyn did this or that? What if Elizabeth I had to do something drastic to protect her position as queen?Who knows what really happened? Will we ever understand what motivated peoples' behaviour? The fun of it is that we probably ever will! There are items in this book that a historian could use to make a good argument for as being true, but of course, because the events took place so long ago, there is no way to test their veracity. But supposition is something we historians love to do. Hey, people may not read our journal articles about the truth, but they will read the historical fiction!
