Why read it?
1 author picked The King's Witch as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
One of the things most people know about King James VI and I is that he was obsessed with witchcraft.
Not only has Tracy Borman studied his relationship with English witchcraft in depth in an excellent nonfiction study–she’s brought the king and his obsession to life in this romantic thriller, in which Frances Gorges faces off against the king (at his most fanatical).

From Steven's list on bring King James and his court to life.
