On the plus side, I enjoyed listening in the car (whereas normally I would just be aimlessly flicking between stations most times) and it made being stuck in traffic much more tolerable. ![]() The format itself had plus and minuses for me. This was also a bit of an experiment for me as it was an audiobook, not something I normally choose but – with lots of long drives ahead of me in my new job – I thought it may be a good way to fill in the hours on the road. Coming across this biography in my local library, written by one of my favourite authors, seemed like a good opportunity to fix that. Other than in passing in these books, I’ve never read anything about Mary Boleyn, sister of Anne, mistress of Henry VIII and, quite possibly, mother of at least one of his illegitimate children. ![]() Over the years, I’ve lost count of how many books I’ve read about Henry VIII, his wives and his children. ![]() Of all the periods in English history, the time of the Tudors is the one that fascinates me most. Published: 2011 (audiobook released Sept 2012) Title: Mary Boleyn: The Great and Infamous Whoreįormat: Audiobook (length 13 hours, 11 minutes) ![]()
