The humorous cartoon-style illustrations and the narrative approach placing readers at the centre of the narrative history encourage readers to get emotionally involved with the characters, aiding their understanding of what life would have been like as a prisoner in the Tower. The title covers daily life for rich and poor captives, how they were tortured for information, escape attempts, executions, the animals in the Tower menagerie, the Crown Jewels and even the ghosts that are said to haunt its corridors, along with much else!
This title has been written in consultation with Historic Royal Palaces, who manage the Tower of London, to ensure that its content is as accurate as possible. Informative captions, maps, timelines, speech bubbles and diagrams make this title an ideal introduction to the conventions of non-fiction texts for young or reluctant readers.
