‘Winter has come; and in a far distant land, a warrior queen is expecting a child…’

For no one is safe from the wheel of fortune: it can take you from a golden throne to the Tower of London…

The Adventures in Time series brings the past alive for twenty-first century children. These stories are every bit as exciting as those of Harry Potter or Matilda Wormwood. The only difference is they actually happened…
