Engaging.

Martin Gayford, The Spectator

Pleasurable and informative ... [with] a great sense of narrative drama ... [Moyle] maintains a narrative momentum ... An extremely accessible and pleasing book to have.

Norma Clarke, The TLS

Ambitious ... Moyle's meticulously researched book draws on primary sources as well as academic studies to make the case for their reintroduction to the popular canon.

Kirsten Tambling, Literary Review

Praise for Franny Moyle:
Wolf Hall but with pics… This is a great thrusting cod piece of a book. It is big, bombastic and richly brocaded... I take my feathered cap off to Moyle and her publishers. This is a triumph of book-making as well as biography. This sumptuous book is a jewel in its own right.

Laura Freeman, The Times

Evokes the painter and his world as vividly as a Holbein masterpiece. Beautifully written and illustrated, this book is a must for lovers of Tudor history.

Tracy Borman

Full of insight... This is a gorgeous book, to which I am sure I shall return again and again.
