Leanda de Lisle’s ‘Tudor: The Family Story’ is a Christmas must read!


A Christmas page turner in ‘Country & Town House Magazine’

‘Tudor: The Family Story by Leanda de Lisle explores for the first time the Tudors from before the Wars of the Roses to the death of Elizabeth I, delving deeply behind the myths to reveal an entirely new perspective on one of England’s most fascinating dynasties.’

Mary Lussiana (p.67, Country & Town House Magazine)



‘Historian Leanda de Lisle revises the story of the Tudor family back to their obscure Welsh origins in delicious detail, bringing to the fore little-known characters and presenting fresh insights into this extraordinary dynasty and period in time. Forget what you thought you knew about the Tudors and read this.’

(p.66, Family Tree Magazine)
