Items related to The Prince of Rags and Patches
It is 1601 and Queen Elizabeth I is dying. Will Marsden lives in Marsden Manor in the north of England. Will is training to be a knight and listens avidly to the true tales of adventure and intrigue told by the family every night around the roaring fire. When a visitor arrives bearing letters from the dying Queen to James VI of Scotland and a body is found in the woods soon after, Will sets out to find the murderer, helped by Meg, the quick-witted serving girl. Great Uncle George's tale of the disappearance of the Princes in the Tower over a hundred years ago provides Will with a vital clue. Terry Deary combines terrific storytelling with historical accuracy in this exciting tale, which gives a vivid sense of the dangers and discomforts of life in Elizabethan times.

About the Author:
Terry Deary was born in Sunderland in 1946 and now lives in County Durham, where the Marsden family of the Tudor Chronicles live. Once an actor and a teacher of English and drama, he is one of Britain's bestselling children's authors, with over 140 books to his credit, including the phenomenally successful Horrible Histories.
From AudioFile:
Will Marsden and his family solve a murder while listening to his uncle tell the story of Richard III and the Princes in the Tower. Hardiman individualizes the cast by giving each person a unique voice and personality. His British accent readily slips into Scottish pronunciations for several characters. Hardiman gives Great Uncle George a gruff, grizzly voice; Will's voice reflects the eagerness of youth. Meg, the saucy housemaid, conceals her intelligence and caring behind a flippant attitude. Hardiman's performance enlivens the historical background, well-described characters and intriguing plots. P.A.J. (c) AudioFile, Portland, Maine
