Katheryn Howard, the scandalous queen : a novel / by Weir, Alison,1951-author.;
"Bestselling author and acclaimed historian Alison Weir tells the tragic story of Henry VIII's fifth wife, a nineteen-year-old beauty with a hidden past, in this fifth novel in the sweeping Six Tudor Queens series. In the spring of 1540, Henry VIII, desperate to be rid of his queen, Anna of Kleve, first sets eyes on the enchanting Katheryn Howard. Although the king is now an ailing forty-nine-year-old measuring fifty-four inches around his waist, his amorous gaze lights upon the pretty teenager. Seated near him intentionally by her ambitious Catholic family, Katheryn readily succumbs to the courtship. Henry is besotted with his bride. He tells the world she is a rose without a thorn, and extols her beauty and her virtue. Katherine delights in the pleasures of being queen and the power she has to do good to others. She comes to love the ailing, obese king and tolerate his nightly attentions. If she can bear him a son, her triumph will be complete. But Katheryn has a past of which Henry knows nothing, and which comes back increasingly to haunt her--even as she courts danger yet again"--

The Queen's faithful companion : a novel of Queen Elizabeth II and her beloved corgi, Susan / by Knight, Eliza,author.;
"A reigning queen ... Elizabeth wasn't born to be queen. But when her uncle abdicates and her father steps in as king, everything in her life changes. There is one thing that never wavers, however: her endearing love of her corgis--especially the new puppy, Susan, a gift for her eighteenth birthday. Susan is by her side during Elizabeth's World War II service; falling in love with Philip and getting married; the death of her father, King George VI; her accession to the throne; the birth of her first child; and her early struggles with running a country--an ever-present reminder to find the balance between self and crown. A loyal servant ... Hanna Penwyck has grown up with her family in service to the crown. Awkward and shy, she has a connection with nature, animals--and the young princesses at Windsor. When she becomes the Keeper of the Queen's Corgis, her job is to maintain the health and wellness of those most prized companions. With their shared love of the dogs, the Queen can open up to Hanna and feel free to be herself, so that is a service she happily provides as well. A faithful companion ... From the moment Susan became a royal dog, her duty was clear: To remind Elizabeth that she is more than just a queen, she is a human, and what matters is not just duty and honor, but also connection, family, and unconditional and enduring love. Susan is the keeper of memories, of secrets. Through Susan we gain a dog's eye view of royal life, human relationships, and the heartwarming bond between a queen and her beloved companion."--Back cover.
