Robert Ascham Novel
A good taste but not really enough to get into the authors style of writing

Not his best.
Any additional comments?
I normally love Matthew's book and own all of them as audio books, I enjoy them that much.
So was very disappointed with this one. I know it was a short story and just introducing you to a New set of characters/ type of story, but it seemed to lack Matthew's gun ho action. Yes I know it was set in olden times with things like dungeons and the rack etc but he has written plots set in the past a lot better (see Temple). I guess it didn't help that it was so short and I didn't warm up to the main character.

A free book.
What a good murder mystery and what's more its free. Princess Elizabeth Tudor's teacher is asked by Henry viii to find his missing pleasure girl. What the tutor finds is horrifying.

Promising teaser
Any additional comments?
I didn't think I would like the idea of a book teaser as I don't like them in TV or films, but this was so intriguing and also so complete. It could have been a complete "very" short story.

Royal... Pardon?
A most enjoyable and rather human tale of Kings and... errrr... "Maids"...
As with most brilliant men, Mr Ascham, is given the impossible to achieve and shines...
