First review of Thomas More is in and it's by the absolutely brilliant Helen Castor - "In Thomas More: A Life, her absorbing and deeply researched new biography, Joanne Paul sets out to rescue More from these violent swings of the historical pendulum..." 🌟🌟🌟🌟 www.telegraph.co.uk/books/non-fi...

On Saturdays, I like to resurrect a review I once wrote of a book that delighted me. Since corruption, greed and larceny were in the news this week, I've decided to feature House of Dudley by @drjoannepaul.bsky.social It’s a fresh look at Tudor times - opulent, lively, quirky and enormously clever.

I was very excited to be sent an advanced copy of this wonderful book by @drjoannepaul.bsky.social Here are my comments: Thomas More has drawn surprisingly little attention in recent years, with Joanne Paul bringing him to life in this exceptionally well-researched biography..

My first book event for Thomas More: A Life is this Saturday at the Canterbury Tudor and Stuarts Weekend. Canterbury is a perfect place to start. As I speak, we'll be less than a mile from the resting place of Thomas More's head. ckhh.org.uk/tudors-stuar...
