Media Reviews
'The romance, the danger and the intrigue of Elizabethan England are fully realised in this novel and provide a magical setting.' -- The School Librarian 20051104 'Kate Pennington has written this book as beautifully as the way Mary embroiders. The careful texture of the words ... creates a moving and realistic picture every reader will love.' -- the Historical Novels Review 20051104 'Carefully researched and written with a focus on unknown commoners whose lives are touched by famous members of the nobility... The plot, with its conversations in dark corners and flashing blades, its court pageantry and extravagence - drives along compellingly.' -- Books For Keeps 20051104
Author Bio
Kate Pennington is a pseudonym for a very successful, million-selling author. She has chosen to publish with a different name because her new work is a major departure from her established work to date - as she writes about favourite, and much loved, areas of history and literature (which formed the backbone to her post-graduate studies in literature).
