About this listen

Brought to you by Penguin.

Take a journey to a vanished world with the Adventures in Time series - stories so exciting you won't believe they're all true.

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

Step through these pages into the Tudor world: a dangerous place, where one misstep could cost your life. Through the eyes of Henry VIII's six very different queens, from a brave Spanish princess to a wise English widow, historian Dominic Sandbrook takes us on a thrilling journey through the twists and turns of a dramatic age. 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 21st-century children. These stories are every bit as exciting as those of Harry Potter or Matilda Wormwood. The only difference is they actually happened....

This series is perfect for all listeners who enjoy tales of heroes, villains, jousting, beheadings and fat tyrants.

As an adult feeling ignorant about my lack of knowledge of this incredible era, I absolutely loved this easily to follow and throughly compelling account. And not just of the six wives, but of some of the other players in Henry’s court who played pivotal roles in the twists and turns of loyalty and betrayal.

It’s written simply - which I liked, and the story is told without the ‘stuffiness’ of some historians who write of Henry and his wives. The writer is also the narrator and his voice is authoritative, yet his style kept me interested throughout the chapters, without being overly dramatic.

Just wonderful! Can’t wait to listen again!
