Alison Weir is one of my favorite historians. Her work is always well researched and intelligently presented. I love reading about European history, which is what my concentration was in college. I especially love learning about royal and noble families, probably because we do not really have anything like that in the United States. I enjoyed learning about the court of Henry VIII, and there is always something new to learn about him, regardless of how many books I have read on this subject. I am only missing a couple of books by Alison Weir, and as soon as my book buying ban is lifted, I will by the rest. I am trying to move through some of my unread stuff this year.
