History & the past: general interest (Children's&YA)

Who needs a Prince Charming when you're busy running the world?

Do you know about the fierce and fearsome pirate who dared to challenge the Queen of England? Or the Indian daughter of a slave who became a warrior queen? And what about the Hungarian princess who became a king when she was just 11...?

From ancient empresses and warrior queens, to fearsome pirates and modern-day monarchs, Fabulously Feisty Queens explores the lives and legacies of history's most powerful women.

Made of stronger stuff than beauty and grace, discover just how bright, brave, brilliant and clever the world's female rulers have been throughout the centuries.

With a foreword by historian and Chief Curator at Historic Royal Palaces, Lucy Worsley and illustrations by Pauline Reeves.

Valerie Wilding (Author) Valerie Wilding is a Londoner who now lives on the edge of a small market town in Hampshire. Val was an infant teacher for many years, then a school librarian, but writing took over and that's how she spends her days. Val started her writing career with lots of short stories for BBC radio and TV, and has now written over eighty books. She writes fiction, non-fiction and narrative non-fiction for all ages, and likes to bring a touch of humour to everything she does, especially history, which is her passion. Pauline Gregory (Illustrator) Pauline is a Devon based illustrator, living by the sea. She specialises in children's literature. Following her passion, Pauline graduated from Plymouth College of Art with a First Class Honours, BA in illustration. She takes inspiration from the funny and endearing things animals and people do every day as well as the superb imagination that children have. Pauline works with lino, charcoal and coloured pencils to create quirky illustrations with humour and charm.
