Everyone wants to impress Her Majesty, and what better way to show their devotion than by burning a witch themselves. But the "witch" in question, Old Nan, is more clever and cunning than the townspeople who hunt her. In the end, it is someone else who sparks the ferocious temper of the frightful Queen... 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 monarchs and characters and take place in some of the most recognizable Tudor settings.
