Free Henry VIII's Last Victim by Jessie Childs Page A

Broughton, Neil Bradford and Laura Hassan, helped to bring it to fruition.
    My heartfelt thanks go to all the friends and family, who have endured my obsession with patience and good humour for over four years. In particular I would like to thank Anna for having in me the kind of faith that only a sister can. My love and thanks go to my fiancé James for providing strength, advice, tenderness and laughter. Finally, I wish to express my profound admiration and love for my mother Jane Childs. From the beginning, when I announced that I was giving up my sensible job to write a book, to the very end, she has selflessly supported and encouraged me. My father, the late Derek Childs, inspired and still inspires me in so many ways and it is to him that I dedicate this book.
