Summary: Was Henry VII a child killer or a good king?
Review: The answer is both. In this Jean Plaidy book, Henry VII is portrayed as a man bent on doing what is best for his country. That may include usurping a crown, killing innocent men and children, and being on the miserly side. Although from that description you may take an immediate dislike to him, beware. Jean Plaidy has a way of changing your mind. She even made me feel more understanding of Philip II of Spain in The Spanish Bridegroom!

At first, I thought this book might be on the boring side. I quickly changed my mind. When has Jean Plaidy ever let me down? Also, this gives back some dignity to Richard III, after it was wrenched from the Tudor propagandist, William Shakespeare.
