I believe a friend of mine has it...oh & I now have the Alison Weir one yea!

[Elinor Hakebourne]

I just started The Time Traveler's Guide to Medieval England: A Handbook for Visitors to the Fourteenth Century by Ian Mortimer Instead of reciting facts, it makes you imagine yourself walking into a medieval village! I haven't gotten into it very far as of yet, but it seems like a great way to get my faire fix when the new faire season is still far away!

Here's the description from Borders since B & N didn't put one up:

From theNew York Timesbestselling author ofThe Last Wife of Henry VIIIcomes a novel about the bitter rivalry between Queen Elizabeth I and her fascinating cousin, Lettice Knollys, for the love of one extraordinary manPowerful, dramatic and full of the rich history that has made Carolly Erickson's novels perennial bestsellers, this is the story of the only woman to ever stand up to the Virgin Queen-- her own cousin, Lettie Knollys. Far more attractive than the queen, Lettie soon won the attention of the handsome and ambitious Robert Dudley, Earl of Leicester, a man so enamored of the queen and determined to share her throne that it was rumored he had murdered his own wife in order to become her royal consort. The enigmatic Elizabeth allowed Dudley into her heart, and relied on his devoted service, but shied away from the personal and political risks of marriage.When Elizabeth discovered that he had married her cousin Lettie in secret, Lettie would pay a terrible price, fighting to keep her husband's love and ultimately losing her beloved son, the Earl of Essex, to the queen's headsman.This is the unforgettable story of two women related by blood, yet destined to clash over one of Tudor England's most charismatic men.

Lady M, if you haven't read it already, I would HIGHLY recommend, "The Autobiography of Henry VIII" by Margaret George.  It is my all-time favorite book, and I re-read it every few years.....
