Henry VIII and Katherine Parr owned hundreds of deluxe books. They sometimes read with pen in hand and left fascinating markings in the margins. But what do these "secret" writings in the margins reveal about the characters of the infamous Henry VIII and his wife who "survived"?
We will be joined by Carleton Professor, Micheline White, for a discussion on these writings in the margins and their not-so-hidden meanings.
We hope to see you there!
