This book reveals what it was like to live in the turbulent Tudor times, when England’s kings and queens held absolute power over their subjects, and stepping out of line meant a whipping or worse. From Henry VII to Elizabeth I, the Tudor monarchs were colourful, powerful people who presided over an era of naval expansion, exploration and trade.
Children will learn about ordinary people’s day-to-day lives, from what they wore and ate to how they spent their free time and what kind of jobs they did. They will get to know a young, fictional Elizabethan girl, as she tells them about her life, from helping her mother with the laundry to visiting the Globe theatre and having a visit from a doctor.
Dotted throughout the book are craft activities and recipes to have ago at, such as making Tudor spiced pears, learning how to play Tudor games and how to dance like a Tudor.
