History up close
7 Mar 2000
Format:Paperback
Erickson demonstrates her profound knowledge of the Tudor era in England through the amazing variety of details she fits into her easy and engaging narrative of the life of one of England's most loved but notorious kings. The reader learns about the perosn, the monarch, his family and his country, and how all were intertwined. The development of Henry, second son not meant to inherit the throne, into Great Harry, fearless and fearsome king who practically destroyed his kingdom to get his own way are beautifully chronicled and bristles with personal touches. It's high drama and well worth it.
Great Harry is more than Great!

Carolly Erickson has the art of writing non-fiction, historical biography to read as a powerhouse, page-turner work of fiction that one does not want to put down! Great Harry is but part of the Tudor history she offers to readers and together with Elizabeth I, Mistress Anne and Bloody Mary Carolly Erickson completes the tale begun with Great Harry! I recommend them all.
Great biography of a controversial king
10 Jan 2009
Great biography of one of England's most noted as well as controversial kings. Erikson is a talented royal biographer, particularly for the Tudor era, and this work is a well balanced account.
