A little about the book
Mrs. Lang retells the true stories of real princes and princesses from European history, including the royal children of medieval and Tudor England and many more. She admits at the start that she found history at school a large, ugly volume, and she sets out to make these lives exciting instead.
The stories are full of battles, escapes, exile and courage, and they bring the past to life for young readers.
