The Tudors : The Complete Story of England’s Most Notorious Dynastyhttp://sirsi.tcpl.lib.in.us/uhtbin/cgisirsi/x/0/0/5?searchdata1=tudors+and+notorious+and+meyer+&user_id=WEBSERVER is what I believe they call “history for the general reader.”  The book reads as if it were fiction, but it’s chock full of facts and stories on each member of the Tudor dynasty starting with Henry VII and ending with Elizabeth I.

I really felt like I learned a lot of things I hadn’t known before, especially about Mary and Elizabeth.  For those of you who want to hear something new, you won’t be disappointed!  G. J. Meyer seems to make a point of approaching his subjects in ways most historians do not.  I cannot stress enough how much G. J. Meyer packs into his books.  You’ll learn so much and it’s presented in such a natural tone that you should really enjoy this if you love Tudor history.
