A fantastic book which had the kids enthralled from start to end and also taught me a few things I never knew about Richard III - I wish they'd had this type of book when I was at school! Beautiful illustration and written by someone who knows how to connect with children as well as having an obvious real passion for history.
Worth every penny. Thoroughly recommend it.

Juliet Lane

Wonderfully written and illustrated account of the life of the last Plantagenet king. This book will prove a treat both as real life story book and reference guide for any budding historian. Adults may learn a thing or two as well!

James Eardley

An excellent book, in a similar style to the ever popular Horrible Histories series. Crammed full of interesting facts that are easily accessible to children, but also informative for anyone of any age wanting to get to know the Richard III story. Who said that learning history couldn't be fun!
