About this Family of Henry VIII print Your print is handmade with love, using fancy-pants matte printing paper that lasts for years. It's oddly satisfying to watch people's reactions to these posters. Prepare yourself for plenty of "where did you get that?" and be warned that they're wickedly potent conversation starters! Wow, these posters feel expensive! Let's face it, a lot of posters look and feel cheap. You know that overly glossy style that reminds you of that CD shop on your local high street that always seems to be just about to go out of business but has somehow still been there 20 years? That's not the look we're going for here. That's why we've spared no expense finding a grade of paper that looks and feels just right. You'll probably like it. It's satisfyingly weighty, with a matte texture that just feels a bit more high-end than that glossy 80s-style "CD shop" finish. Most importantly, you'll feel proud to hang it up in your living room. Or kitchen. Or bedroom, pantry, fine wine cellar, trampoline room, secret underground dungeon... we don't judge. Prints with personality No matter your home decor style, these posters instantly transform the look of a room. They can add the cherry on top of a bold and adventurous room layout, or breathe fresh life into a plain one. Fully backed by our Conversation Starter Guarantee! If you hang this poster where guests can see it, and it doesn't start a single conversation in a year, we'll give you 100% of your money back. Yes, we're serious. Shipping & Delivery Shipping is FREE and always will be. None of that "spend this much to qualify for free shipping" stuff. Naturally, this means delivery usually takes a week or two, as we're only a small business (and not an evil trillion-dollar conglomerate with an army of overworked employees). We can often get your poster to your doorstep in a week, but we'd suggest allowing 2 weeks to be on the safe side. What to expect What you see is always what you get. The poster that turns up at your front door will be exactly like the one you see in the pictures (although we're often told they look better in person!). If you'd prefer to have your new pride and joy pre-framed, drop us a line and we'll create a custom order for you. If not, don't worry—we deliberately make our posters in standard sizes, so you can easily find a frame for your new wall decor at a sensible price. And of course, we carefully hand-pack each poster to ensure that it reaches you in perfect condition. And if anything goes wrong? Well, there's the upside of not being a big stuffy corporate. We're a small, friendly team who are easy to talk to and quick to reply. Although issues with orders are rare, we're always just a message away to fix them when they do happen.

Who was Henry VIII? In this interview with England's most capricious of monarchs, we explores the truth about the man behind the mask.
The New York Times bestselling author of the Six Tudor Queens series explores the private side of the legendary king Henry VIII and his dramatic and violent reign in this extraordinary historical novel. Having completed her Six Tudor Queens series of novels on the wives of Henry VIII, extensively researched and written from each queen's point of view, Alison Weir now gives Henry himself a voice, telling the story of his remarkable thirty-six-year reign and his six marriages. Young Henry began his rule as a magnificent and chivalrous Renaissance prince who embodied every virtue. He had all the qualities to make a triumph of his rule, yet we remember only the violence. Henry famously broke with the Pope, founding the Church of England and launching a religious revolution that divided his kingdom. He beheaded two of his wives and cast aside two others. He died a suspicious, obese, disease-riddled tyrant, old before his time. His reign is remembered as one of dangerous intrigue and bloodshed—and yet the truth is far more complex. The King's Pleasure brings to life the idealistic monarch who expanded Parliament, founded the Royal Navy, modernized medical training, composed music and poetry, and patronized the arts. A passionate man in search of true love, he was stymied by the imperative to produce a male heir, as much a victim of circumstance as his unhappy wives. Had fate been kinder to him, the history of England would have been very different. Here is the story of the private man. To his contemporaries, he was a great king, a legend in his own lifetime. And he left an extraordinary legacy—a modern Britain. | Author: Alison Weir | Publisher: Ballantine Books | Publication Date: May 30, 2023 | Number of Pages: 608 pages | Language: English | Binding: Hardcover | ISBN-10: 0593355067 | ISBN-13: 9780593355060
