About this listen
Exclusive to Audible. Join Alison Weir in the studios talking about her ambitious six part series - Six Tudor Queens. Explaining the process of writing a historical novel and how her passion was first ignited, we are given a glimpse into what it takes to write about well-known but often misunderstood historical figures.
Alison Weir is a British writer of history books, and latterly historical novels, mostly in the form of biographies about British royalty. Her first published work, 1989's Britain's Royal Families, was a genealogical overview of the British royal family. She subsequently wrote biographies of Eleanor of Aquitaine, Isabella of France, Katherine Swynford, and the Princes in the Tower.

An intriguing listen
Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
The fact she hates on other things such as The Tudors and other 'trashy' historical novels makes her sound like she places her works in some sort of magnum opus.
People know that things are dramatised for TV, they're not stupid. In the same breath she says her book (and the subsequent TV series) Wolf Hall is better because it's historically accurate.
Shame that there is such arrogance about the quality of her work as opposed to other authors, not a good way to go around promoting yourself.
Air of arrogance
