Tudor Life magazine contributor Beth von Staats has just released her first book Thomas Cranmer: In a Nutshell, a 90 page book which is exactly what the title suggests: a concise biography of Thomas Cranmer, Archbishop of Canterbury and Protestant martyr. Congratulations to Beth!
I had a sneak peek of Beth's book as I was part of the happy accident that saw Beth's work being published. Beth was meant to be writing an article on Thomas Cranmer, a man she has become quite an expert on and who she is passionate about, but the article turned into a book and I suggested it would be a perfect fit for MadeGlobal's History in a Nutshell series. I'm so glad that Beth agreed with my idea, it is a wonderful book and is perfect for those wanting to know more about Cranmer's life and how he went from being a king's adviser to being burnt at the stake by that king's daughter. What a life and what a tragic end!
