Book Overview: The Tudor Tales books are pacy, funny stories, full of the subversive wit and sharp observations which makes Terry Deary's bestselling non-fiction so appealing. Plus ... readers will relish the darkly authentic Tudor settings. Each story follows the fate of a young child who could have existed in Tudor times and often involve real historical events, and often real personalities. Each book features one of the main Tudor monarchs, including Henry VII, Henry VIII, Mary I and Elizabeth I. Many of the sites featured in the stories can be visited today: the Globe Theatre, Hampton Court Palace, Hardwick Hall and Surtees House. Perfect as springboards for further study of the Tudors, as well as being brilliant books for an age-group that is hungry for imaginative, innovative stories.
