HENRY VIII’S PETITION REQUESTING A DIVORCE FROM ANNE BOLEYN — One of the great documents of history!
Mrs. Moore and I have been watching the movie THE OTHER BOLEYN GIRL with Eric Bana, Natalie Portman, and Scarlett Johansson as a change of pace from our Palm Springs busy days. While watching this movie, I remember an amazing document very much connected to this movie. This Henry VIII’s petition to the Pope requesting a divorce from Catherine of Aragon, with the seals of the Great Lords of England supporting the King’s claim. It is certainly one of the great documents of history. The King’s decision would change the course of history forever: the Church of England and the Protestant movement in Britain.

THE HISTORY OF BRITAIN AND IRELAND: THE DEFINITIVE VISUAL GUIDE
I have always loved picture books! When I spotted this very heavy book at Barnes and Noble in Boston, I grabbed it with enthusiasm. I am enthusiastic about this publication; I have seen images here that I have never seen before. I think $40.00 is a reasonable price for such a fantastic picture book with wonderful commentary. Nice.
