Following the success of my previous book, Live Like A Hunter Gatherer, which was shortlisted for The Royal Society’s Young People’s Book Prize 2023, I’m excited to share this new adventure into the Tudor world!

Packed with vibrant illustrations and fascinating facts about the dramatic Tudor age, this book takes children on a journey through one of history's most colourful and powerful eras. From Henry VII and Henry VIII to Elizabeth I, the Tudor monarchs presided over a time of naval expansion, exploration, and trade.

Children will explore the everyday lives of ordinary people, learning what they wore, ate, and how they spent their free time and worked. Through the eyes of a young, fictional Elizabethan girl, they’ll get a glimpse into her life, from helping her mother with the laundry to visiting the Globe Theatre and even going to the doctor.

The book also features fun and interactive craft activities, including:
+ Recipes, such as making Tudor marchpane (marzipan)
+ Learning how to play Tudor games
+ Dancing like a Tudor
+ And much more...
