Tudor fiction, 1485 to 1603
Tudor England, from the inside
Novels for adults and mysteries for readers aged 8 to 12, set in the courts, cloisters, kitchens and back streets of sixteenth-century England. Every book is grounded in the records of the time, and none of them looks away from what life was really like.
Free for readers
Queen for nine days. Prisoner for seven months.
Before she went to the scaffold on Tower Green in February 1554, Lady Jane Grey wrote to her father, to her sister Katherine and to a former tutor who had abandoned the faith, and left notes in the margins of her prayer book. Live Still to Die gathers everything she wrote in the Tower, in clear modern English, with notes on who she was writing to and why, a family tree, a timeline of the nine days and after, and a plan of the Tower as she knew it.
