Anne Boleyn's Letter from the Tower by Sandra Vasoli

Sir, Your Grace's Displeasure and my Imprisonment are Things so strange unto me, as what to Write, or what to Excuse, I am altogether ignorant. Thus opens a burned fragment of a letter dated 6 May 1536 and signed Anne Boleyn, a letter in which the imprisoned queen fervently proclaims her innocence to her husband, King Henry VI. This letter from the Lady in the Tower has divided historians in recent years, with some dismissing it as a fake. There has been no definitive study of the letter or its mysterious provenance. until now. In Anne Boleyn's Letter from the Tower, Sandra Vasoli provides an in-depth investigation of the individuals who may well have kept the letter safe for nearly 500 years, from author to its present home in the British Library. - Did Anne Boleyn actually compose the letter from the Tower? - Did Henry VI regret his final tragic actions against Anne Boleyn? Sandra Vasoli unravels the mysteries of this letter and also reveals a startling comment found buried in an age-old document which gives us a cryptic clue into Henry VI's anguish over his second wife. The culmination of this research may well alter the accepted view of Anne Boleyn and Henry VI's doomed marriage.

Vasoli, Sandra: - Sandra Vasoli grew up in a suburb of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA. As a child, she developed an abiding interest in objects and stories from a long-ago era: historic houses, antiques, period clothes, and tales from the past. A passionate reader and enthusiastic writer, she also spent her formative years caring for dogs and riding horses; the love of animals factors large in her writing. She earned degrees in biology and English from Villanova University and then pursued graduate work in organizational development during her long career in human resources. As a human resources officer for several Fortune 500 global companies, she honed her ability to observe and read the behaviors of people, which contributes to her poignant character development. After leaving the corporate world, Vasoli wrote and published her debut novel, Struck With the Dart of Love: Je Anne Boleyn. Uniquely positioned as a Anne Boleyn's memoir, it is the story of the tumultuous relationship between Boleyn and Henry VIII of England. With a deep appreciation for meticulous research, Vasoli was permitted rare access to the Papal Library at the Vatican, to read and study the original love letters penned in the 16th century by Henry VIII to his second wife, Anne Boleyn. She has also done extensive research in the British Library, viewing the beautiful Book of Hours in which Henry and Anne both inscribed lovers' messages to each other, and documents attributed to a mysterious letter purportedly written by Boleyn while she was imprisoned in the Tower before her execution. The result of that research has been published in Anne Boleyn's Letter from the Tower - A New Assessment. The second novel in the two-part series is available now. Entitled Truth Endures: Je Anne Boleyn it is available on e-reader and in paperback. Sandra Vasoli lives in Gwynedd Valley, Pennsylvania.
