Kumla Bibliotek

A must-buy book for everyone interested in history and skeletons in the regal cupboards. Discover fascinating facts about lust, greed, murder, envy – and just plain stupidity. Read King Henry VIII’s scurrilous letters to Anne Boleyn (thought he was interested in her mind? Think again). Whilst King Charles II was known as the Merry Monarch and Queen Elizabeth I’s nickname, the Virgin Queen was rumored to be a misnomer, there was a darker side to the royal family, including murder and regicide – was Queen Victoria’s son really Jack the Ripper or did her surgeon do it?

History will come alive with this fact-filled book.
