These three Quick Read stories by David Oakden paint a vivid picture of ife in Tudor times. A poor country family is worried about thieves and about their greedy landlord, an escaped dog nearly ruins everything at the annual Statutes Day fair and there's an unexpected visitor on Queen Elizabeth's barge on the River Thames. Full of humor, the stories are easy to read and contain a wealth of contemporary detail. There are historical notes to set them in context and glossaries to explain any unfamiliar words.
