I was aiming to get this book out in time for Christmas, but life got in the way! It’s just in time to keep you occupied (and your mind off chocolate!) for Lent though!
It’s called The Tudor Puzzle Book: Word Searches, Crosswords and Fiendish Questions.
I’m sure you’ll agree that the very best fun you can have is Tudor fun, so this book will definitely help you with that.
Here is the blurb:
Think you know about Tudor history – this is the book for you! – The Tudor Society

Sounds the perfect gift for Tudor buffs, I must add that I received your book ‘The Illustrated Kings And Queens Of England’ for Christmas Claire, and it’s a truly beautiful book, I’m going to order your other book ‘Sweating Sickness In A Nutshell’ as I’m very interested in the plagues which afflicted our unfortunate ancestors.
Oh thank you, Christine! I’m so glad to hear that you liked Illustrated Kings and Queens, I very much enjoyed putting that together and the colorising was quite a family project.
Yes I saw your daughter Verity was involved to, it’s nice when all the family get involved – a joint project, I mean to buy your book on George Boleyn to there’s quite a few biographies on Mary Boleyn but think your book is the only biography on George, and like you have said before, he really is just as fascinating as his more famous sister Anne.
Ordered!!
Looks excellent. Yes, the brain requires testing in order to get going. Looking forward to adding it to my collection. I am terrible at cross word puzzles, probably because I am impatient but word searches, quizzes, that’s my forte. Congratulations on the new book.
Tim describes it as fiendishly tricky, but then he’s not a Tudor history buff.
Neither is Steve a great history buff. He is interested and asks plenty of questions, to which he gets detailed answers, but it wasn’t his greatest subject at school. That’s why he had to marry me. Someone has to keep the universe in balance.
I was just saying this afternoon, when we are old, we won’t be telling people the same stories of our childhood over and over again, we’ll be telling stories about Anne Boleyn as if we were there over and over again.
Just received my copy from Amazon, really looks great. Thanks for doing the printing big, really helpful and easy on the eyes. Nobody is allowed to write in it, answers on paper only. No cheating and a plenty of good fun for years to come.
Thanks for putting it together.
