 Tales
from the Tower of London
The brooding grey walls of the Tower
of London circumscribe one of the most recognisable buildings
on the planet. Over its thousand-year history the Tower stood
as a symbol of the English monarchy and served as both a palace
and a prison. It is a place where court intrigues, clandestine
liaisons, unimaginable tortures and grisly executions took place
with frightening regularity. Tales from the Tower is the factual
history of the great building itself told through the true stories
of the people, royal and common, good and bad, heroes and villains,
who lived and died there. Including characters such as William
the Conqueror ,
the Princes in the Tower, Jane
Grey,
Guy
Fawkes,
Colonel Blood and Rudolf
Hess,
the broad range of stories encompassed in Tales from the Tower
present a microcosm of all human experience, from love and death
to greed and betrayal, all played out against romantic period
settings ranging from medieval knights in shining armour to
the darkest days of World War II.. Anyone who loves history
and adventure will find Tales from the Tower a classic page
turner.
