A riveting new biography of a much neglected Queen -- the doomed child-bride of Henry VIII.
Joanna Denny, author of 'Anne Boleyn', reveals another sensational episode of Tudor history -- illuminating the true character of Katherine Howard, the young girl caught up in a maelstrom of ambition and conspiracy which led to her execution for high treason while still only seventeen years old.
Who was Katherine, the beautiful young aristocrat who became a bait to catch a king? Was she simply naive and innocent, a victim of her grasping family's scheming? Or was she brazen and abandoned, recklessly indulging in dissolute games with lovers in contempt of her royal position?
Joanna Denny's enthralling new book once again plunges the reader into the heart of the ruthless intrigues of the Tudor court -- and give a sympathetic and poignant portrait of a girl tragically trapped and betrayed by her own family.
