Books about Tudors

So, I read  The Other Boleyn Girl on an acquaintance's recommendation.  I am the type of person who can hardly put a book down once I have started it.  I was fascinated by the story and I would have given it a glowing recommendation, but there was way too much adult-type content, which I really don't appreciate.  So, I would tell other people to not read it. 

Rather, I would recommend reading Carolyn Meyer's books:  Doomed Queen Anne, Mary, Bloody Mary, and Beware, Princess Elizabeth.  They are much, much milder.  I wouldn't have very young children read them though, unless you are prepared to have discussions about illegitimacy, mistresses, divorce, murder, affairs, executions, etc.  Not the friendliest of topics.  There is also some language (mostly related to mistresses and illegitimate children).  Although, if you have a child that is older, there could be some very good discussions about choices and consequences, love and marriage, desire for power, etc.

So, because I read The Other Boleyn Girl, it got me interested in learning more about that period of history.  So I read the Carolyn Meyer books, and I am planning on reading the Shakespeare play about King Henry VIII (I think there is one?), and whatever else I can find.  We'll see how it goes.
