Description:

Terrible True Tales: Tudors (4 Books in 1)
Terry Deary's Terrible True Tales: Tudors explores the world of the Tudors through the eyes of children who could have lived at the time. Packed with fun illustrations by Helen Flook, these stories feature real people and take place in some of the most recognisable Tudor settings.

The Prince, the Cook and the Cunning King: King Henry VII is a mean and ruthless king and when a young boy named Lambert Simnel lays claim to the throne, Henry is furious. Lambert is no match for the powerful king - can he escape the extraordinary punishment he faces?
The Thief, the Fool and the Big Fat King: Eleanor becomes troubled by her family's cunning and foils their plans to catch a coney. Meanwhile, fearsome King Henry VIII has some rather cruel ideas of justice ... for everyone.
The Maid, the Witch and the Cruel Queen: The day Queen 'Bloody Mary' Tudor came to town was the most terrifying day of young Meg's life. Everyone wants to impress her, and what better way is there than by burning a witch? But the 'witch' in question, Old Nan, is more clever and cunning than the townspeople who hunt her...
The Actor, the Rebel and the Wrinkled Queen: The dashing Earl of Essex is plotting a rebellion to overthrow the aged Elizabeth I and is using the Globe Theatre in his plot. When Queen Elizabeth I learns of the plan, Shakespeare's theatre company end up in the most putrid prison in the land. Can James, a young actor, help the bard to earn the Queen's forgiveness and the company's freedom?

Terrible True Tales: Vikings (4 Books in 1)
Terry Deary's Terrible True Tales: Vikings explores the world of the Vikings through the eyes of children who could have lived at the time. Packed with fun illustrations by Helen Flook, these stories feature real people and take place in some of the most recognisable Viking settings.

The Eye of the Viking God: Norway, 793 CE. Fleece was snatched by Viking warriors when she was a young girl. Now she must work for a bullying farmer and his family, looking after their sheep. She longs to return to the country where she was born, but how will she ever make that journey back across the sea?
The Battle for the Viking Gold: Whitby, Northern England, 867 CE. Edwin and Luke are young boys training to be monks. It's a quiet life until suddenly the Vikings invade. The boys are terrified of the fearsome Danes, whose gods are even more terrifying warriors than they are. What will happen if the boys are caught?
The Sword of the Viking King: Wessex, England, 878 CE. Fortune is not on the side of the English and the Vikings will soon control all the land. Even young Ethelbert believes he could do a better job than King Alfred. Little does he know that soon he will be called on to prove it.
The Hand of the Viking Warrior: North America, 1009 CE. The conquering Vikings are delighted to reach North America. The land is green and fertile - it's the perfect place to establish a new home. But first they must learn to get on with the native people.
