| | 1. |  | Georgiana, Duchess of Devonshire
from Flamingo
Customer Review:
After finishing "Georgiana, Duchess of Devonshire" by Amanda Foreman, I have come to the conclusion that the flaming youth of the 1770's and 80's were just about as wild a bunch that could be.

| | 2. |  | The Six Wives of Henry VIII
from Grove Press
Price: $11.53
Customer Review:

from Ballantine Books
Price: $10.88
Customer Review:
When Alison Weir is the author, the book is unquestionably accurate and a wonderful read. The children of Henry VIIl were exceptional. Elizabeth and Edward were incredibly intelligent. They always fascinate me. Mary, hummmm, maybe not so much. I love anything Alison Weir writes. I have yet to be... more info
