| book description |

From the author of the blockbuster Horrible Histories series, now a TV show and movie, who has sold more than 30 million copies worldwide. 'Deary's storytelling is simple, historically accurate and compelling.' â€“ The i newspaper on The Silver Hand Horrible Histories author Terry Deary presents a rip-roaringly funny collection of Tudor tales based on thrilling true stories â€“ four books in one! Perfect for history fans (and those who don't know they're history fans yet) aged 7+. The Prince, the Cook and the Cunning King: King Henry VII is a mean and ruthless king and when a young boy named Lambert Simnel lays claim to the throne, Henry is furious. Lambert is no match for the powerful king â€“ can he escape the extraordinary punishment he faces? The Thief, the Fool and the Big Fat King: Eleanor becomes troubled by her family's cunning and foils their plans to catch a coney. Meanwhile, fearsome King Henry VIII has some rather cruel ideas of justice ... for everyone. The Maid, the Witch and the Cruel Queen: The day Queen 'Bloody Mary' Tudor came to town was the most terrifying day of young Meg's life. Everyone wants to impress her, and what better way is there than by burning a witch? But the 'witch' in question, Old Nan, is more clever and cunning than the townspeople who hunt her ... The Actor, the Rebel and the Wrinkled Queen: The dashing Earl of Essex is plotting a rebellion to overthrow the aged Elizabeth I and is using the Globe Theatre in his plot. When Queen Elizabeth I learns of the plan, Shakespeare's theatre company end up in the most putrid prison in the land. Can James, a young actor, help the bard to earn the Queen's forgiveness and the company's freedom? Terry Dearyâ€™s Terrible True Tales: Tudors explores the world of the Tudors through the eyes of children who could have lived at the time. Packed with fun illustrations by Helen Flook, these stories feature real people and take place in some of the most recognisable Tudor settings. This new edition features notes for the reader to help extend learning and exploration of the historical period.
