BOOK ONE of THE CURIOUS CHILDHOOD OF HENRY VIII - YA VERSION
The life of a prince is not as charmed as you may think.
Danger lurks at every turn...
When ten-year-old Prince Henry learns of a plot to assassinate his older brother, he knows he must go on a quest to save him. Disguised as a humble squire, he will ride across the kingdom and heroically save Prince Arthur.
But being heroic, it turns out, is anything but easy.
Along with his whipping boy and an unruly teenage knight, Henry is quickly plunged into the adventure of a lifetime, filled with swordfights and skullduggery, escapes and explosions, magic and mayhem. He battles foes, from swaggering pirates and mysterious monks to evil henchmen and old hags, finding a coterie of loyal new friends - his new family - in the most unexpected of places.
This is the story of a boy with a great deal to learn about courage, about destiny and not just being a prince - but someday, a king.
A king called Henry VIII.
"Henry VIII as you have never seen him-- a boy far from the palace, fighting to stave off a fatal intrigue, with the help of his friends. A great adventure and escapade!"
- Margaret George, Best-Selling Author
"This unique story, based on real events but incorporating magic and pirates and all sorts of fun stuff is really magnificent. There are twists and turns and loveable characters which had me laughing, crying and cheering all the way throughout."
- Evangeline Parry, Writer and Script Editor
"4 out of 4 star rating.....The story unfolds against a myriad of conspiracies and intrigue that typically accompany monarchies....It will particularly appeal to young readers but is also a good read for older audiences."
