dear birdie.

recently i read the diary of one elinor valjean, who was a royal servant in the court of henry the eight in the times of his first (catherine) and second(anne) wives. she wanted to be a boy like you, but she wasn't funny or witty, like you. she could be quite serious sometimes, but one of her dreams was to be a court jester like her father.

her diary was interesting. i learnt a lot about the lives of catherine of aragon, her king, and the woman he left her for, anne boleyn. previously i have always kind of admired anne boleyn, she seemed like such a strong, smart woman. but she was a harlot! smart, but still. queen catherine should be more popular than anne(in future). but i guess the good, kind ones are always forgotten.

in the end i quite enjoyed her life and her stories, and am looking forward to reliving it all over again.

i'm writing this to you because i want to tell you that i may come across many, many stories of people living in the old times, but you will always be my favourite medieval girl.

your fan from the future,
neri.
