What to expect

Bloomsbury presents Lady Mary by Lucy Worsley, read by Sara Alexander

A brilliantly captivating children's novel from popular television historian Lucy Worsley, exploring the most famous divorce in history from the perspective of the daughter of Henry VIII and Catherine of Aragon.

By turns thrilling, dramatic and touching, this is the story as you’ve never seen it before - from the eyes of Princess Mary. More than anything Mary just wants her family to stay together; for her mother and her father - and for her - to all be in the same place at once. But when her father announces that his marriage to her mother was void and by turns that Mary doesn't really count as his child, she realises things will never be as she hoped.

Things only get worse when her father marries again. Separated from her mother and forced to work as a servant for her new sister, Mary must dig deep to find the strength to stand up against those who wish to bring her down. Despite what anyone says, she will always be a princess. She has the blood of a princess and she is ready to fight for what is rightfully hers.
