The Armourer's House: A Tale of Tudor London

“I read Rosemary Sutcliff's books aloud to my own children who were as captivated as I was. She is one of our greatest writers and gave me a lifelong love of history.” Chris Riddell Tamsyn arrives from a sleepy Devon town for a new life in Tudor London. Immediately enchanted by her uncle’s home on the Thames and the ships and river traffic passing by, she dreams of going to sea for a life of voyage and discovery. But little does show know, that adventure and excitement can be found closer to home in Tudor London. Rosemary Sutcliff, author of the children’s classic, The Eagle of the Ninth, brilliantly captures in naturalistic detail sixteenth-century London. Published in a beautiful gift hardback, with an introduction by Lara Maiklem, author of the bestselling, Mudlarking, The Armourer’s House will  transport children on a captivating Tudor adventure.
