Review
5 of 5 people found the following review helpful. For Hard-Core Tudor FansBy PualaniThis is a true story. As someone wrote; this book is really for the real hard-core Anne Boleyn and Tudor fans; those interested in after-death psychic contacts; and/or those who are fascinated with the Spiritualist movement of the late 1800s. Canon Packenham-Walsh was no dilettante or casual seance-goer. He was as conservative as only an Anglican vicar of the Victorian times could be; constantly questioning and testing his sources; and the meaning of what was happening to him. He kept these sessions with mediums completely private; often attending anonymously; and according to him; never giving any of the sensitives a clue as to what his main interest was. In fact; it appears that not only was Anne Boleyn wanting him to help clear her name (a task which seems well under way now; thanks to most scholars of today) but a main goal was to help rescue her ex Henry from the depths of what seems like (in Catholic terms) limbo--a state of spiritual slumber; which when disturbed; resulted in a great confusion and distress on Henry's part; but ultimately; apparently allowed him to begin to make restitution and start the process of reclaiming his soul. Sounds a little farfetched on the surface; but hey; Canon P-W thought so too! I liked it; it made me think about karma; and what might happen to someone who had killed some 70;000 people (Henry's estimated toll!) after their own death. Those were bloodthirsty times; indeed.
