Tudor Tales: The Thief, the Fool and the Big Fat King Synopsis
From the bestselling author of Horrible Histories... Every day, hapless hopefuls travel to dirty and dangerous Tudor London, trying to seek their fortunes.
But what and who is waiting for them when they get there?
Tricksters and conmen, like young Eleanor's family, who prey on their naivety.
Meanwhile, the fearsome King Henry VIII has some rather cruel ideas of justice... for everyone. Terry Deary's Tudor Tales explore the infamous world of the Tudors through the eyes of children who could have lived at the time.
These stories feature real people and take place in some of the most recognisable Tudor settings.
This new edition features notes for the reader to help extend learning and exploration of the historical period.
