This book reveals what life was like in the tumultuous Tudor age. England's kings and queens held absolute power over their subjects, and stepping out of line meant a whipping or worse.
From Henry VII and Henry VIII 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 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 doctor's visit.
Dotted throughout the book are fun and engaging craft exercises, including:
- Recipes, such as making Tudor marchpane (marzipan)
- Learning how to play Tudor games
- Dancing like a Tudor
And much more...
