The Oxford Bookworms Library offers a rich collection of classics, modern fiction, nonfiction, and more. Written specifically for secondary school students and adults, it covers seven reading levels, ranging from A1 to C1 according to the CEFR. The book describes the lives of six women—three Katherines, two Annes, and a Jane. Their fates varied: one wife was married to the king for twenty-four years, while another was queen for only a year and a half. One died, two were divorced, and two were beheaded. Life at court was dangerous and uncertain. After the king's death in 1547, his sixth wife discovers a box of old letters—one from each of the first five wives—filled with grief, fear, and anger. These letters reveal the story of what it was like to be the wife of Henry VIII of England. Suitable for CEFR levels A2/B1.
