Descripción

Coperta cartonata rigida con sovracoperta illustrata, formato cm. 24 x 16,5 e pagine 381. IN INGLESE. ’’Prima edizione’’. As Henry VIII’s only child, the future seemed golden for Princess Mary. She was the daughter of Henry’s first queen, Katharine of Aragon, and was heir presumptive to the throne of England. Red-haired like her father, she was also intelligent and deeply religious like her staunchly Catholic mother. But her father’s ill-fated love for Anne Boleyn would shatter Mary’s life forever. The father who had once adored her was now intent on having a male heir at all costs. He divorced her mother and, at the age of twelve, Mary was banished from her father’s presence, stripped of her royal title, and replaced by his other children--first Elizabeth, then Edward. Worst of all, she never saw her beloved mother again; Katharine was exiled too, and died soon after. Lonely and miserable, Mary turned for comfort to the religion that had sustained her mother. Buone/ottime condizioni. V526
