Lambert is no match for the powerful king can he escape the extraordinary punishment he faces? Terry Deary's Tudor Tales explore the infamous world of the Tudors through the eyes of children who could have lived at the time. 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.

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.

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.
