Henry VIII was flamboyant, courageous and headstrong. His life spans a fascinating, important period in history, in which he plays a crucial part. This biography of Henry VIII looks further than the facts that everyone knows - what was Henry like as a boy? How did he become the man that he was? Lives in Action is a series of narrative biographies that recount the lives of some of the key figures in history. Page-turning, thrilling plots that read like fiction will keep the most reluctant reader hooked.

Presentation of history in narrative form makes Lives in Action an accessible and appealing biography series. Perfect for cross-curricular teaching. Exciting well-written text by an established and respected author. Biography is studied at KS2. Tudors are an important KS2 history topic.
