Adventures in Time: The Six Wives of Henry VIII

Context:

One of two books Dominic is promoting in this episode, part of his Adventures in Time series for children aged 8-12. He discusses how editors debated whether details about Henry VIII's enemas and obesity were too squeamish for children, but test readers aged 8 declared it 'the best bit in the whole book.' The book's dedication to his son Arthur, who rated every battle, massacre, and severed head, is read aloud at the end.
