About this ebook
The captivating debut children's novel from popular television historian Lucy Worsley is an exciting and charming glimpse behind the scenes of the Tudor court.
I would often wonder about my future husband. A knight? A duke? A stable boy?
Of course the last was just a wicked fancy.
Eliza Rose Camperdowne is young and headstrong, but she knows her duty well. As the only daughter of a noble family, she must one day marry a man who is very grand and very rich.
But Fate has other plans. When Eliza becomes a maid of honour, she's drawn into the thrilling, treacherous court of Henry the Eighth ...
Is her glamorous cousin Katherine Howard a friend or a rival?
And can a girl choose her own destiny in a world ruled by men?

I thought this book really caught the feelings of so many. I think Lucy Worsley has done another great job. It shows life from a different point of view which is always interesting to read.

Excellently written by lucy with her usual compassion and conviction. Glad it was a short novel as i couldn't put it down. It brought Henry the 8th court alive and bought me a new understand and compassion of the people's lives back then.

A tale from a different angle that shows life of the everyday people at court and how their lives are controlled.
