''Lady Mary'' chronicles the famous story of Henry VIII's love affair with Anne Boleyn, his divorce from Katherine of Aragon, Anne's execution for adultery, and Henry's subsequent marriage to Jane Seymour, which finally produces the much longed for birth of a male heir. This time, the story is told through the eyes of an important but often neglected player - Henry's young daughter, Mary. Mary's hopes of her family staying together are crushed by the divorce and she is treated terribly by a father under the influence of the Boleyn faction. ''Lady Mary'' follows her through these awful years and you can't help but root for the little girl stuck in the middle of these tumultuous events.
If ''Lady Mary'' sounds up your alley, remember that Lucy Worsley has also written about Henry VIII's fifth wife, Katherine Seymour, in [[ Eliza Rose by Lucy Worsley |Eliza Rose]]. You might also enjoy [[ Spy for the Queen of Scots by Theresa Breslin]], which presents, for once, a positive interpretation of Mary, Queen of Scots.
