I hope to have find some bookmarks and come back with nice photos. See you...

Six Wives
The leather bookmark from England. The picture shows King Henry VIII, and his six wives are enlisted.
* No.1. Catherine of Aragon. Catherine, a Princess of Spain, was married to Henry for many years. Her determination to stay married to Henry, in the face of his desire for Anne Boleyn, would change the course of history forever.
* No.2. Anne Boleyn. Henry fell passionately in love with Anne while married to Catherine of Aragon. He waited several years to marry Anne, but, ironically, lost his desire for her once she became his Queen.
* No.3. Jane Seymour. Gentle, capable Jane gave Henry his long-awaited male heir after one year of marriage. Sadly, she gave her life to do so.
* No.4. Anne of Cleves. This German princess served as Queen for only a few months before she and Henry agreed to divorce by mutual consent.
* No.5. Katherine Howard. Henry's marriage to this sensuous teenager brought him brief happiness, but ended in tragedy.
* No.6. Katherine Parr. This intelligent, loyal, forward-thinking Renaissance woman outlived three husbands, including Henry, and went on to finally marry the man of her choice.
***
I'm eager to read Phillipa Gregory's books about the Tudor period. I think, I'll use this bookmark while reading these books;)
Have you read any books about the Tudor period?

William Shakespeare
The bookmark from England. I suppose everyone has heard of W.Shakespeare... am I right?;)
William Shakespeare (1564 - 1616) was an English poet and playwright, widely regarded as the greatest writer in the English language and the world's pre-eminent dramatist. He is often called England's national poet and the "Bard of Avon". Among the most famous of Shakespeare's plays are Romeo and Juliet, King Lear, Macbeth, A Midsummer Night's Dream, Hamlet, Julius Caesar, Othello, Twelfth Night, The Merchant of Venice.
Shakespeare was born and raised in Stratford-upon-Avon.
