Description

Anne Boleyn's favour falters as Jane Seymour rises and Herne's hunt closes on the court while Wolsey's power slips. Spoken as when the last volume asks whether any queen escapes the fate she helped prepare.

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.
