The Tudors: Kings, Queens, Scribes, and Ferrets!

Delightfully informative, the genius of this book is in its clever layout. Royals are covered in the large middle section. Lower class life is appropriately described in a narrow band at bottom of each page. Lots of fun facts about ferrets (animals from which ermine pelts were made, which only kings and queens were allowed to wear) are in the margins, as well as commentary and questions that young readers enjoy answering with their parents. Pretended to buy this book for my seven-year old for Christmas. Was really buying it for myself. A GREAT READ for parents to introduce their children to late 15th-16th century English history.

I purchased the hardcover of this book. Even though it is very thin (only 20 pages) I thought $19 was too much.A total rip-off in my opinion. My fault for not reading further on this item. It is illustrated very well & so cute however because it is about Henry the VIII court & time it does show the cute little characters (due to their crimes- as punishment) in the pillory also hanging & burned at the stake. Not kidding! But you make that determination for your own kids of course! I just wanted to let others know!

Great for 10 & under to learn Shakespeare!

Brilliant book! Purchased for my 9 year old whilst trying to teach him at home. He loved the book and the layout was really good. I also really liked the book. Loved how it was written and even found some new facts out myself.

Fantastic book, very informative for intrigues little minds. Actually was a good read for adults too if you want to learn about the Tudor’s! My 9 year old has loved this book and sharing her knowledge with school.

What a joy Marcia Williams books are! My granddaughter now has the set and loves them. The format is great providing lots of information in a well illustrated fashion.

these books are fantastic for anyone at any age. beautiful fun illustrations.
