Product description

A fantastic Tudor adventure from Historical Association Young Quills Award-winning author Ally Sherrick.

‘A compulsive read … I love Ally’s writing, she really has a way of making history come alive!’ CELIA REES

‘Having read Ally Sherrick’s previous work, the author can’t put a foot wrong in my opinion, and this Tudor tale is her best yet.’ BARBARA HENDERSON

‘The Queen’s Fool is a gripping, page-turning adventure’ LANCASHIREEVENING POST

Cat Sparrow is on the road. She’s following her sister, Meg, who was torn from their convent home and sent to London.

But Cat isn’t like other people – she thinks differently - and for a girl like her the world holds many perils.

Luckily she befriends a young actor, Jacques, and together they follow Meg’s trail to a wondrous place called the Field of Cloth of Gold. But here, they discover that the kingdoms of England and France are both in terrible danger …

Ally Sherrick weaves fact and fiction together to create a rip-roaring historical adventure set in the court of Henry VIII

Told with real heart and warmth, THE QUEEN’S FOOL explores historical attitudes towards people with learning disabilities, the importance of sisterly bonds, and using your talents to forge your own destiny.

Perfect for fans of Emma Carroll and Hilary McKay

Brilliant for KS2 readers – and teachers! – studying the Tudors at school
