The Fall of Anne Boleyn: A Countdown is presented in a diary format, allowing readers to dip in, look up a particular date, or read from start to finish. Drawing on sixteenth century letters, eye witness accounts and chronicles, Claire Ridgway leads the reader through the sequence of chilling events one day at a time, telling the true story of Anne Boleyn's fall.

Trapping Varus' legionaries between a hillside and a marsh, and thereby preventing them from forming up or using their artillery, Arminius and his warriors wreak a terrible slaughter. The Germans are led by Arminius, a chieftain who is a trusted ally of Rome - and a man who has been secretly planning to betray the empire since childhood. As they prepare to return to their winter quarters, they are lured off the road and ambushed by German warriors.

Another day she wears a tutu with a polka-dot shirt. Gooney Bird wears pajamas and cowboy boots one day. Another reason you should read this book is because the pictures show Gooney Bird in very unusual and strange clothing.
