They will get to know a young, fictional Elizabethan girl, as she tells them about her life, from helping her mother with the laundry to visiting the Globe theatre and having a visit from a doctor.Dotted throughout the book are craft activities and recipes to have ago at, such as making Tudor spiced pears, learning how to play Tudor games and how to dance like a Tudor.

The fifth book in the Live like a . . . series, this fully illustrated volume transports readers to Tudor England through a series of very readable chapters on topics such as the period’s monarchs and royal families and the country’s social structure, religions, holidays, sports, and entertainment, as well as the occupations, educational levels, and living conditions for various classes of people, especially young people. The later chapters offer facts on food, drink, and manners, along with several recipes, and the book concludes with a useful glossary. Following a factual introduction to Shakespeare and the Globe Theatre, a fictional 11-year-old girl in the Tudor era describes her first trip to the theater. Impressed with William Shakespeare, who wrote the play in addition to acting in it, she wonders whether he will write any more plays. ... this volume is engaging as well as enlightening. Richly colorful and often detailed, the attractive artwork is very useful for young readers trying to understand the Tudor era. An informative, original introduction to life in Tudor times.
