Readers might already know that king Henry VIII is horribly famous for: \* having a bit of a weight problem \* marrying six unlucky wives \* getting very carried away with his chopping block. But this book will also tell them the facts no other biography is likely to tell them \- that Henry \* was a handsome hunk and sports star \* accused his second wife of witchcraft \* bricked up his bedroom door at night
いい本です。ヘンリー8世の生涯と歴史的イベントがちゃんと書いてあって、面白いイラストや漫画でわかりやすく、皮肉の効いたコメントも面白い。 ただ、奥付けにも書いてあるとおりHenry VIII and his chopping blockの名前だけ変えた物なんですね。そっちも持っているので、実際読んでがっかりしました。そこだけ残念。 本としては非常におすすめです。
