    About this ebook

    This is a well-researched and documented historical biography about Henry VII, the father of Henry VIII.

    In 1485 Henry VII defeated Richard III and began the Tudor dynasty. Henry had a loyal and organized administration and was able to fight off attempts from abroad and increase his power. He was able to control Ireland, secure peace with Scotland and won a treaty with France. Peace ruled until after his death. He organized the finances and the government and was possibly the best businessman to sit on the English throne. In foreign policy he preferred diplomacy to war.

    Charles Williams

    Charles Williams (1909–1975) was one of the preeminent authors of American crime fiction. Born in Texas, he dropped out of high school to enlist in the US Merchant Marine, serving for ten years before leaving to work in the electronics industry. At the end of World War II, Williams began writing fiction while living in San Francisco. The success of his backwoods noir Hill Girl (1951) allowed him to quit his job and write fulltime. Williams’s clean and somewhat casual narrative style distinguishes his novels—which range from hard-boiled, small-town noir to suspense thrillers set at sea and in the Deep South. Although originally published by pulp fiction houses, his work won great critical acclaim, with Hell Hath No Fury (1953) becoming the first paperback original to be reviewed by legendary New York Times critic Anthony Boucher. Many of his novels were adapted for the screen, such as Dead Calm (published in 1963) and Don’t Just Stand There! (published in 1966), for which Williams wrote the screenplay. Williams died in California in 1975.
