Description

Sir Thomas Wyatt's jealousy of Anne Boleyn drives him into a compact with Herne the Hunter as Wolsey schemes and the forest spirit's band strikes the court. Spoken as when jealousy still sells a soul to the hunter of Windsor Forest.

Author

William Harrison Ainsworth (1805–1882) was the great Victorian showman of historical romance — a novelist who filled magazines and bookstalls with highwaymen, witches, Tudor courts, and London underworlds. Rookwood made Dick Turpin a legend; Jack Sheppard turned a thief into a popular hero; The Lancashire Witches brought the Pendle trials back to feverish life.
