The Maid, the Witch and the Cruel Queen: The day Queen 'Bloody Mary' Tudor came to town was the most terrifying day of young Meg's life. Everyone wants to impress her, and what better way is there than by burning a witch? But the 'witch' in question, Old Nan, is more clever and cunning than the townspeople who hunt her ...

The Actor, the Rebel and the Wrinkled Queen: The dashing Earl of Essex is plotting a rebellion to overthrow the aged Elizabeth I and is using the Globe Theatre in his plot. When Queen Elizabeth I learns of the plan, Shakespeare's theatre company end up in the most putrid prison in the land. Can James, a young actor, help the bard to earn the Queen's forgiveness and the company's freedom?
