PERHAPS A GIFT VOUCHER FOR MUM?: MOTHER'S DAY
Nicola Tallis is a historian and researcher. She has previously lectured at the University of Winchester and worked with Historic Royal Palaces and the National Trust, as well as at Sudeley Castle, where Lady Jane Grey lived for a time, alongside Katherine Parr. As a researcher, Nicola has worked with many great writers, including Alison Weir and Sir Ranulph Fiennes. Crown of Blood is the result of five years of research on the Grey family and is her first book.
A stunning debut * The Spectator * Poignant * The New York Times * Tallis's clear writing and well-paced narrative heighten the story's climactic and tragic ending. * Publishers Weekly * A highly intelligent and enjoyable study which brings us as close to a flesh-and-blood Lady Jane Grey as we may ever come. * History Today * A stunning debut from a young historian who deserves to be recognized as a major talent in her field. It's history as it should be written, vivid, colourful, pacy and evocative, but - above all - authentic and based on sound and innovative research. It's an outstanding contribution to our knowledge of Lady Jane Grey. -- Alison Weir Authoritative, thoughtful and elegantly written. Telling use of original sources makes fresh and vivid - as well as moving - the story of a girl too often dismissed as a mere blank canvas onto which others could write. A genuinely impressive debut. -- Sarah Gristwood Through meticulous research, Nicola Tallis pieces Lady Jane Grey's fascinating story together, and in so doing brings this extraordinary young woman vividly to life. Engagingly written and utterly compelling throughout. A stunning debut. -- Tracy Borman This is a wonderful investigation of Lady Jane Grey, enlightening and gripping, full of superb research and beautifully written. -- Kate Williams
