Do not miss Tudor Terror!
Although this series is rather misnamed, methinks, since I didn't find it in the least bit scary, the books are a real treasure. Terry Deary, beloved for his "Horrible Histories", presents history again, this time in a nicely wrapped package complete with a timeline and quotes from Shakespeare. This is young adult mystery story and historical fiction...

"The Prince of Rags and Patches" is incorrect
I read The Prince of Rags and Pathes a few months ago, and I enjoyed it. However, since then i have found out the truth about Richard III: he did not order Sir James Tyrell to murder his nephews, as this book suggests. I would not recommend anyone read this book, unless they want to be introduced to the widely believed but totally incorrect story. I would instead...

Do not miss Tudor Terror!,
By A Customer
This review is from: Tudor Terror: The Prince of Rags and Patches (Audio Cassette)
Although this series is rather misnamed, methinks, since I didn't find it in the least bit scary, the books are a real treasure. Terry Deary, beloved for his "Horrible Histories", presents history again, this time in a nicely wrapped package complete with a timeline and quotes from Shakespeare. This is young adult mystery story and historical fiction combined in one, and I think anyone who reads in the genre will dig "Tudor Terror". "Prince of Rags and Patches" is the best one I read so far; the riddle of the "Princes in the Tower" is intriguing.

"The Prince of Rags and Patches" is incorrect,
By Penny Wheeler (Araluen, NSW Australia) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Tudor Terror: The Prince of Rags and Patches (Audio Cassette)
I read The Prince of Rags and Pathes a few months ago, and I enjoyed it. However, since then i have found out the truth about Richard III: he did not order Sir James Tyrell to murder his nephews, as this book suggests. I would not recommend anyone read this book, unless they want to be introduced to the widely believed but totally incorrect story. I would instead recommend "The Daughter of Time by Josephine Tey, which answers this "riddle" of the Princes in the Tower. Apart from this one book, the rest of Terry Deary's books, especially his "Horrible Histories" series, are an entertaining and informing look at historical events. But please, do not believe this one book: while the Marsdens are fictional, so too is the plotting, murdering Richard III portrayed in it.
