Afternoon Tea
Saturday 16 October at 3pm
Venue: Morley Town Hall map
Running Time: 1 ½ hours (approx)
Price: £5 (includes refreshments)
Join historian Helen Castor for sandwiches, cake and an introduction to her fascinating new book She Wolves: The Women Who Ruled England Before Elizabeth.
This is the fascinating story of how royal power came to lie in female hands for the first time under the Tudor queens – and of the four women who came before them and who, whilst never reigning monarchs, held great power.
Helen Castor is a respected historian and Sunday Times reviewer. Her previous book, Blood & Roses, was longlisted for the Samuel Johnson Prize and won the English Association’s Beatrice White Prize.
Event sponsored by the Friends of Morley Literature Festival.
