Penny is an atypical ten-year-old girl because she lives with her parents in the Tower of London! Her father is Chief Yeoman...
She discovers an old farthing in the Tower grounds after a trip to the dentist. The farthing dates back to 1483 and Edward V, and has special powers...
Penny begins a magical journey that takes her back-and-forth from the Middle Ages, encountering the Princes in the Tower, Richard - Duke of Gloucester, and his wife - Anne Neville amongst others...
Meanwhile, it's the Football World Cup, and England is doing rather well!
Interspersed with creative ideas and light-hearted tales of life in the Tower of London, this story feeds imaginations and gives realistic, albeit brief, insights into the Wars of the Roses...
Perfect for 8-12-year olds...boys and girls alike, with alternating fonts to add to the reading experience...despite everything being less than textbook!
