VIII by H.M Castor

  This is a great book for British history lovers.  It is told from Henry the eighth's view of his life.  It really focuses mainly on his younger years.  He was always in the shadow of his older brother who would be king, while he really had no position in the world.  He was loved by his mother, but felt his father really hated him.  Very interesting viewpoint on his history.  Recommend.
