Is anyone familiar with the Shadows of the Crown series?? I need the titles of the other books in the series, and what order they come in. I just can't seem to find it anywhere. I have My Lady of Cleves on my wishlist, and want to add the others in this series.

It sounded familar so I checked it out, yes, I've read it. I remember really liking it, Anne of Cleves usually gets a short shrift in discussions of Henry VIII's wives, and I thought it did a good job of making her "real".

I didn't realize there was a series, though, so I'll watch this thread.

Unfortunately it appears that all of her books are OOP. I found a listing of her books, but not much other information. I've heard from many that Anne of Cleaves is a great book, so I put it on my wishlist. But I didn't realize it was part of a series. I saw on one website that it's part of the "Shadows of the Crown'' series, but I can't find a listing of that series anywhere.

Brief Gaudy Hour is about Anne Boleyn. The King's Fool is about King Henry's fool Will Sumner. The Tudor Rose is about Elizabeth of York. I don't know anything about the rest of the titles, but have heard that her books are really great.

Shoot, I didn't realize it was OOP. I loaned it to someone and it has never wandered back my way.

I have read a couple of her books and enjoyed them.  I have several others but haven't gotten to them yet.

I have some other books that are also "Shadow of the Crown" series but they are all by different authors.  I'll put together a list of the ones I have later today (I hope).  I just got back from a 10 day vacation (which is why I haven't been around) and have a ton of stuff to catch up on - especially laundry!!
