National Trust: Secret Historical Diaries Pack x 3 Award-winning team Pack by Philip Ardagh (author) and Jamie Littler (illustrator) (UK edition)

If you love Hetty Feather or My Story, here’s a treat for you. Historical diaries from the people who REALLY know history – the National Trust! (With a bit of help from top author Philip Ardagh.) OK, these diaries aren’t actual diaries. The tales are made up – except for the facts! But they are entertaining and seriously authentic, just like you’d expect. There’s a medieval trainee knight, growing up in a castle. There’s a boy spy working for a Tudor king. Oh, and there’s the Victorian maid of all work. (Her job isn’t quite as much fun.) But if reading about their lives wasn’t fascinating enough, each of them has a mystery to solve…

Brilliantly fresh and witty fictional diaries set in the past

Written by Roald Dahl Funny Prize winner Philip Ardagh

Full of zany jokes, witty illustrations and authentic facts

Supports the curriculum and awakens an interest in history

Philip Ardagh

Philip Ardagh is the bestselling author of the Eddie Dickens adventures. In 2009 he has two new series: the very funny fictional Grubtown Tales, and fact-packed Henry’s House.

He wrote BBC radio’s first truly interactive radio drama, collaborated with Sir Paul McCartney on his first children’s book and is a ‘regularly irregular’ reviewer of children’s books for the Guardian. Married with a son, he divides his time between Tunbridge Wells and Grubtown, where he cultivates his impressive beard!
