Very Entertaining
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 17 years ago
I loved this book. It wasn't a dry historical recap, but a very funny, interesting, and informative read. There were lots of extra tidbits sprinkled throughout the book about how life was back then, and that added to the enjoyment. The illustrations were terrific and enhanced the text. I highly recommend for junior high, and even for adults!
Incredibly Funny Book!

Henry VIII and his Chopping Block is a wonderful way to get kids to actually want to read history! It's all unbelievingly true. Henry VIII is a fun and funny way to learn about England's most famous king. What were his manners like(you may not want to know)? What were the secrets of his six wives? Get the chief executioner's tips on how to die. Read the Tudor Tatler, the newspaper of the time. Get the truth on how they dressed, what they did, what they ate, and...how they died. Read Henry's "Secret Diary". Be sure to read the "For the Chop" letters which tell the real storys on famous people who died because fat Henry lost his temper(quite normal, compared to other things he did).This first quality book is complete with HISTARICAL cartoon illustrations. Buy it today.
