Historian and broadcaster Dominic Sandbrook brings history to life for children with a new series of true stories.

Sandbrook looks at the intrigues and dangers of the Tudor Court through the eyes of Henry VIII’s six different queens.

Sandbrook has written eight books for adults and presented several television series on topics from time travel to the Harry Potter series. His 11-year-old son Arthur came up with the idea for his new children’s books after a family trip to the Imperial War Museum.

Ages 8 to 12
