I loved every page of this book... Well written and easy to read, I
can say with confidence this is one of the best books that I have
ever read on the Tudor age'

Johnson is a fine historian. She will be at the forefront of
British historical writing for a long time to come

The political narrative is crisp... an assured an eye-opening
introduction to the England of 1409'

It is refreshing to read a book that not only focuses on the upper
echelons of society but also goes to lengths to describe the lives
of 'ordinary' people... [Johnson's] authoritative tone and passion
for the subject made for a very enjoyable read'
