Delve into a captivating new perspective on two of England's most renowned queens, ideal for enthusiasts of 'Wolf Hall' and 'Six: The Musical'. This meticulously researched account has garnered rave reviews from readers, praised for its lucidity, fascinating insights, and impeccable research.
Anne Boleyn, the most infamous of Henry VIII's wives, continues to captivate audiences centuries after her tragic demise. While her tumultuous relationship with the Tudor monarch is well-documented, this book explores a lesser-known but equally significant connection: the profound influence Anne had on her daughter, the future Elizabeth I.
Despite Elizabeth's tender age at the time of her mother's execution, evidence suggests that Anne's impact on her daughter's character, beliefs, and reign was far more substantial than previously thought. The young princess even dared to honour her mother's memory by secretly wearing Anne's iconic 'A' pendant during a family portrait sitting.
Through a meticulous examination of original documents and artefacts, this volume unravels the intricate bond between Anne Boleyn and Elizabeth I. In doing so, it casts new light on two of history's most influential women, offering a fresh perspective on their intertwined legacies.
Acclaimed historians have hailed this work as 'sensational', 'masterful', and 'genuinely ground-breaking'. It has been lauded for its thought-provoking analysis, captivating narrative, and its revelation of Anne and Elizabeth as 'the most dazzling female double act in history'.

Sherlock & Pages is a little bookshop with a big heart. We are based in Frome, Somerset, England and curate lists of books in the areas we are passionate about – landscape, nature, history, and heritage. In short, the conservation of all we’ve inherited and all we are responsible to pass on. We aim to inspire and be inspired, to form a literary culture of care and passion about this precious planet we call home.
This is a shop where you might find something you haven’t seen before, and we like to think we’ve got something for everyone. We choose each of our books with care and for a reason. This is because our physical store is small but beautifully formed, holding only around 1200 titles at any one time. We try and recreate the feel of the shop wherever we are online, to reflect our niche categories and personality.
We have an active social media presence and aim to share our story with all our friends. The long-term goal is to build a hub for the books and writers we believe in. Who knows where our adventure will lead but by supporting Sherlock & Pages you’re helping us to add a further layer of magic to our little corner of the world. If you haven’t visited our physical store, one day you might just make a literary pilgrimage down to Somerset.
Our tagline is ‘Long Live the Hedgerows’ and our symbol a hibernating dormouse. If you want to support an independent with a unique character and which will share stories with you for years to come, then choose Sherlock & Pages. The world needs bookshops with soul, for they are ‘citadels of light.’
