Journey back to the world of the Tudors, with the second book in an exciting new children's history series

Winter has come; and in a far distant land, a warrior queen is expecting a child...

Step through these pages and into the Tudor court- a dangerous world, where one misstep could cost your life. Through the eyes of Henry VIII's six very different queens, from a brave Spanish princess to a wise English widow, historian Dominic Sandbrook takes us on a thrilling journey through the twists and turns of a dramatic age. For no one is safe from the wheel of fortune- it can take you from a golden throne to the Tower of London...

This unique publishing venture will allow a new generation to discover the thrills and spills of history. These are exhilarating adventures, every bit as exciting as classic children's fiction.
