I am delighted to welcome Claire Ridgway to the blog as part of her tour for her new book, Tudor Places of Great Britain. Claire Ridgway is the author of the best-selling books George Boleyn: Tudor Poet, Courtier and Diplomat (co-written with Clare
Cherry); On This Day in Tudor History; The Fall of Anne Boleyn: A Countdown; Sweating Sickness: In a Nutshell and both instalments in The Anne Boleyn Collection. Claire was also involved in
the English translation and editing of Edmond Bapst's 19th century French
biography of George Boleyn and Henry Howard, now available as Two Gentleman Poets at the Court of Henry VIII.
Claire worked in education and freelance writing before
creating The Anne Boleyn Files history website and becoming a full-time history
researcher, blogger and author. The Anne Boleyn Files is known for its
historical accuracy and Claire's mission to get to the truth behind Anne
Boleyn's story. Her writing is easy-to-read and conversational, and readers
often comment on how reading Claire's books is like having a coffee with her
and chatting about history. Claire is also the founder of The Tudor Society.
