The Lady of Fire and Tears: Tudor Chronicles 3

by TerryDeary (Author)

Synopsis

In the north of England, a silver cup has been stolen from Marsden Hall...Meg the serving girl will hang for it, unless she agrees to spy on her friends at the Black Bull Tavern. Her friend Will Marsden is desperate to save her. As Meg and Will struggle with the dilemma, Will's mother tells them a story she has kept secret for years: how she herself, as a young lady-in-waiting, was forced to spy on Mary Queen of Scots. Two stories of spies and double-dealing intertwine in Terry Deary's exciting tale of adventure set in Tudor times.

Book Overview: High-profile author who promotes his books very actively. Historical fiction is the hot new genre. Tudor equivalent of the Roman Mysteries. Lively boy and girl protagonists combined with famous figures from Tudor times bring history to life. A galloping good tale that'll keep you completely enthralled. The Times. Tudor times are part of National Curriculum Key Stages 2 and 3. In a 2001 libraries' survey, Terry Deary was the most-borrowed author of children's non-fiction in Britain. Gorgeous new covers and an updated look for the six-book relaunch. No comparable series. (Doubleday's Lady Grace Mysteries, published in 2004, are very different - told from the point of view of a maid of honour in Elizabeth's court.)
