A Visitor's Companion to Tudor England
In March 2012, Suzannah Lipscomb’s book, ‘A Visitor’s Companion to Tudor England‘ will be published and I must say I cannot wait to own a copy!
As you are all aware, I am fascinated by the idea of walking in the footsteps of the Tudors and in this book Suzannah visits over 50 Tudor places uncovering the stories behind this famous period of history.
Product Description:
For the armchair traveller or those looking for inspiration for a day out, The Visitor’s Companion to Tudor England takes you to palaces, castles, theatres and abbeys to uncover the stories behind Tudor England. Suzannah Lipscomb visits over fifty Tudor places, from the famous palace at Hampton Court where dangerous court intrigue was rife, to less well-known houses, such as Anne Boleyn’s childhood home at Hever Castle or Tutbury Castle where Mary Queen of Scots was imprisoned.
In the corridors of power and the courtyards of country houses we meet the passionate but tragic Kateryn Parr, Henry VIII’s last wife, Lady Jane Grey the nine-day queen, and hear how Sir Walter Raleigh planned his trip to the New World. Through the places that defined them, this lively and engaging book reveals the rich history of the Tudors and paints a vivid and captivating picture of what it would have been like to live in Tudor England.
