Format:Paperback
This wonderful book brings Hampton Court to life. It's detail is fantastic, while the style makes it feel approachable for everyone. Having had the delight of meeting Lucy and being given a roof top tour of Hampton Court by her, I can honestly say her genuine passion for her job comes through in her writing.

After the disappointment of buying Thurley's much more expensive rival 'architectural and social history' of Hampton Court (lavishly produced and illustrated but barely any social history: a strange combination of coffee table looks and reference book text, with much detail of archiectural building expenses but very little on the Palace's extraordinary political and social history), it was a huge relief to find this book: engagingly written without being patronising, and genuinely introducing the relevant political, social and architectural history.

Castle worth reading about and visiting!! 24 Jun 2009
By L. Coleman - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback
My wife and I recently spent the day at Hampton Court Palace while visiting London. Not having prepared well for the overwhelming beauty and history we experienced, I decided to order a book to compliment my visit! This "official illustrated history" was a magnificent read with stunning photography! I highly recommend a visit to Hampton Court Palace but the next best thing is to purchase this wonderful book!! I give it a standing ovation!

This book is very informative, I like the early sketches of the palace and how it shows you (in color) how it was when the Cardinal owned it; how King Henry and Queen Elizabeth updated it and present day. It's a shame William and Mary had half of the old Tudor palace torn down but there's enough left of the early period to get an idea how grand it was in Henry's time.
