I loved the detail in this story, the detail of the Anne Boleyn lookalike tour guide’s dress was fantastically described and had me hooked. I was begging Weir to make it longer but sadly no. I really enjoyed this story but it was just too short! Seven pages just wasn’t enough. As the tour progresses though a spectral figure is spotted in another group. This tour guide is dressed up like Anne Boleyn and looks incredible, everyone is impressed. This little story centres around a tour group who Jo is in charge of and she books a special tour guide to take them all around the Tower. I have always been fascinated by the history of the Tower of London and have often thought it is probably the home to many ghosts so this little story is right up my street. I do not mind though as I have thoroughly enjoyed reading this little story again. I am sure I have read this little story before but I don’t know where from as I have never owned it. But as she becomes enthralled by the historical accuracy of her tour guide and the dramatic setting that she has come to love, something spectral is lurking in the shadows. Jo, historian and long-term admirer of Anne Boleyn, takes a group on a guided tour of the Tower of London, to walk in the shoes of her Tudor heroine. The Tower is Full of Ghosts Today by Alison WeirĪlison Weir was born in 1951 and is a British writer of history books, and latterly historical novels, mostly in the form of biographies about British Royalty.
