The Stolen Crown

It Was a Secret Marriage - One That Changed the Fate of England Forever

By: Susan Higginbotham

Narrated by: John Lee, Alison Larkin

Katherine Woodville's sister never gave her a choice. A happy girl of modest means, Kate hardly expected to become a maker of kings. But when her sister impulsively marries King Edward IV in secret, Katherine's life is no longer hers to control.

Critic reviews

"[Higginbotham] hits another historical high note in her latest fictional foray into the British monarchy. . . . This fictional prelude to the Tudor era will appeal to fans of Philippa Gregory's historicals." ( Booklist)

Most enjoyable

I enjoyed the narration and the format of when Harry was talking and Kate.
This is the first book in which Ling Richard confesses to the killing of the boys which was interesting .

Enjoyable Listen

Where does The Stolen Crown rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

Enjoyable listen. This story at least allowed this couple to fall in love with each other, thou in historical records they did not. Was an interesting take on the Great Aunt of Henry VIII.

Enjoyable historical fiction.

Liked the historical research and human qualities given to the characters. Will listen more by Higginbothum.

Terrific Performance

The written version was tiresome and unreadable for me. This performance was well done and quite entertaining.

A little boring

I found this book to be a bit boring. The narrators were very good, but it seemed to go on forever. I usually binge books on the royals, but I found this one difficult to get through .
