A historical fiction book based on the famous story of The Princes in the Tower - perfect for children aged 9-14 years.
1485. Richard III is King of England. Henry Tudor’s invasion looms.
Jack Broom thinks that war and politics have nothing to do with him. He is a simple apothecary’s boy dreaming of becoming a surgeon – until soldiers mistake him for a boy of noble birth.
Narrowly avoiding being dragged to the Tower of London, Jack sets out on a perilous mission to find out who he truly is. With the help of his new friend Alice, he uncovers conspiracies, treason, and the deadly lengths people will go to for power.
In book 2 in the Tales From the Middle Ages series of historical standalones, Andrew Beattie takes readers to 1349, when England is under the cloud of the Black Death.
Will Hunter and his troupe of travelling theatre players come across a young boy, barely alive. Thomas Rose has a mysterious past, an uncanny ability for magic tricks – and he claims he can help put an end to the disease and misery that has gripped the land.
But is Thomas an angel or a fraud? And as his influence grows, can Will protect him from the anger of the church either way?
It’s up to new and returning readers to read and find out!
