Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Margaret Tudor, the elder sister of her more famous brother Henry VIII, is the single most important Tudor figure of this era that historians have consistently overlooked. Married at thirteen to the charismatic James IV of Scotland, a man more than twice her age, she would learn the skills of statecraft that would enable her to survive his early death, and to construct a powerful position in her adopted country of Scotland as she dealt with domestic issues as well as navigating international relations with England and France. Often reviled for her hasty remarriage (and therefore the loss of the regency) the book shows that Margaret was damned if she did remarry and damned if she didn't. Her two subsequent marriages were both disastrous personally, but she never gave up. Her son attained the throne in his own right in 1528, largely through his mother's determination. Margaret's story is also one of fierce sibling rivalry with her younger brother, Henry VIII, a series of matrimonial mishaps, and fighting off an unearned reputation as an over-sexed whinger fixated by clothes and jewels, Margaret was a complex (not always likeable) woman who had the true Tudor attributes of self-expression and a flair for the dramatic. She knew that you had to look like a queen. Drawing on Margaret's extensive correspondence (more of her letters survive than of all the other Tudor queens put together), and contemporary poems and literature, Linda Porter fashions a compelling story of a misunderstood and underestimated Tudor monarch, whose determination to fight for the rights of her son, James V, is at the core of her dramatic life and indeed laid the groundwork for a future British state.

Book excerpt: In 1715, Lady Blythe Hedley's father is declared an enemy of the British crown because of his Jacobite sympathies, forcing her to flee her home in northern England. Secreted to the tower of Wedderburn Castle in Scotland, Lady Blythe awaits who will ultimately be crowned king. But in a house with seven sons and numerous servants, her presence soon becomes known. No sooner has Everard Hume lost his father, Lord Wedderburn, than Lady Hedley arrives with the clothes on her back and her mistress in tow. He has his own problems--a volatile brother with dangerous political leanings, an estate to manage, and a very young brother in need of comfort and direction in the wake of losing his father. It would be best for everyone if he could send this misfit heiress on her way as soon as possible. Drawn into a whirlwind of intrigue, shifting alliances, and ambitions, Lady Blythe must be careful whom she trusts. Her fortune, her future, and her very life are at stake. Those who appear to be adversaries may turn out to be allies--and those who pretend friendship may be enemies.

Book excerpt: "Thistle and Rose" is a heartwarming novel written by Amy Walton. Set in the idyllic English countryside, the story follows the lives of two young girls, Thistle and Rose, who come from very different backgrounds but forge a deep and lasting friendship. Thistle, a spirited and independent girl, lives in a humble cottage with her elderly grandmother. She is resourceful and imaginative, finding joy in the simple pleasures of nature and the beauty of her surroundings. Thistle loves spending time in the woods, exploring the meadows, and cherishing the company of animals. On the other hand, Rose belongs to a well-to-do family living in a grand mansion nearby. Although Rose has material comforts, she often feels lonely and stifled by her strict upbringing. She yearns for the freedom that Thistle seems to enjoy effortlessly. One day, fate brings Thistle and Rose together, and they become instant friends. Despite their differences in social standing, the girls discover a shared love for adventure and a deep connection with nature. Thistle introduces Rose to her world of exploration and wonder, while Rose offers Thistle glimpses of the opportunities that lie beyond her humble cottage. Throughout the novel, Thistle and Rose face various challenges and triumphs, each learning valuable life lessons from the other. Their friendship strengthens as they navigate the complexities of family, societal expectations, and personal growth. As the seasons change, so do the girls' experiences and perspectives. Together, they face adversity, support each other's dreams, and learn the value of true friendship. Their bond transcends social barriers, proving that genuine connections are not confined by class or wealth. "Thistle and Rose" is a delightful tale of friendship, self-discovery, and the enchanting beauty of nature. Amy Walton's evocative writing transports readers to the lush English countryside, where the innocent joys of childhood and the power of friendship are celebrated. The novel gently explores themes of social inequality, empathy, and the importance of cherishing the little moments that make life special. Thistle and Rose's journey resonates with readers of all ages, as it captures the essence of youth and the universal desire for genuine connections."
