AURORA BOOKS Cf) EUREKA STREE I DAVID LOVELL u ro THE GOOD LIFE n-· Edited by Michael McGirr OJ 'This is a book of stories. Most of the stories are about people who are well known, even famous ... But these are not conventional celebrity exposes. They reveal a side of people which is of deeper and more lasting interest to the majority of Australians than gossip. We seldom admit it, but we are interested in the sacred, in God, in that friendly but sometimes unco-operative neighbour ro known in old Australian slang as Hughie.' -Michael McGirr u Thanks to Aurora Books/David Lovell, Eureka Street has 15 copies of The Good Cl) Life to give away, each worth $21.95 .

Catherine of Aragon; divorced and lived in seclusion until her death in 1536, a hollow victory for her rival, as it turned out. This was so he could wed: 2. Anne Boleyn, mother of Elizabeth I, beheaded in 1536 on trumped-up adultery charges when she failed to produce a male heir. Henry immediately married her lady in waiting: 3. Jan e Seymour, who died less than a year later producing the male heir. This m ade him disconsolate for five minutes so he chose: 4. Anne of Cleves. The lucky one. He disliked her looks and pensioned her off after six months, declaring the marriage void. Died comfortably off, outliving almost everyone else in the drama, in 1557. He then turned his beady eyes on: 5. Catherine Howard; the really unlucky one. Beheaded at 22 in 1542 after two years married to the old hog. 6. Catherine Parr; she had buried two husbands and presumably felt one more corpse wouldn't matter. She survived him, but not her n ext husband, Lord Sudeley, only lasting a year of that m arriage. 11.

Created in 1487 by Henry VII, it became notorious under Charles I for the partiality of its judgments; c) the official definition is 'a board organised to protect the interests of commerce', but entrant Howard Abbott's was far better: ' A gath ering of Sheriffs of Nottingham who by a process akin to confession and absolution present themselves as latter-day Robin Hoods.' 14. a) The glutinous mass of albumen supporting the yolk of birds' eggs; b) a stye on the eyelid. 15.
