Associate publisher Alexis Kirschbaum and Jasmine Horsey, editor for non-fiction, acquired UK and Commonwealth rights to Hunting the Falcon: King Henry VIII and Anne Boleyn by John Guy and Julia Fox, at auction from Natasha Fairweather at Rogers, Coleridge & White.
Kirschbaum and Horsey said: "From the moment of submission, we knew that Hunting the Falcon was a very special book indeed: a landmark work of non-fiction, told with the page-turning addictiveness of a novel. John Guy and Julia Fox animate this defining moment of English nationhood in a new way, through the portrait of a marriage.
"The result is an astonishing blend of the romantic and the political, told against an ambitious international canvas. It is storytelling and scholarship at their best, and we could not be more excited to publish it."
