The Armourer's House

I read Rosemary Sutcliff's books aloud to my own children who were as captivated as I was. She is one of our greatest writers and gave me a lifelong love of history. Chris Riddell Tamsyn arrives from a sleepy Devon town for a new life in Tudor London. Immediately enchanted by her uncles home on the Thames and the ships and river traffic passing by, she dreams of going to sea for a life of voyage and discovery. But little does show know, that adventure and excitement can be found closer to home in Tudor London. Rosemary Sutcliff, author of the childrens classic, The Eagle of the Ninth, brilliantly captures in naturalistic detail sixteenth-century London. Published in a beautiful gift hardback, with an introduction by Lara Maiklem, author of the bestselling, Mudlarking, The Armourers House will transport children on a captivating Tudor adventure.
