I need to find a book for my 7-year old god daughter whose parents says is interested in the Tudors. They also say she isn't a very keen reader so I think the brief is I am to find a book on the Tudors, that's interesting enough for a 7 year old, but not too hard going. Hmmmm. And also it can't be from the Horrid History series as she has that already. Oh and a necklace, but luckily I've found one online.


Any recommendations please as have left it v late and need to order quickly on Amazon to make her birthday in time.


Are any of the following which I have found on Amazon suitable for a 7-year old - Tudor Stories for Girls - Alison Price or Elizabeth (My Royal Story), a Tudor Princess's diary byt Kathryn Lasky?


There's no reviews on Amazon to say what age they are for, and I don't want to risk sending a Tudor romp by accident.

These are great suggestions, thank you. Like the look of the Time Travelling one in particular.


I've also found something that looks good for the 6/7 year old range -Brilliant Brits : Henry VIII by Richard Brassey. There's also one on Elizabeth 1. All well illustrated and quite easy looking, bite-sized chunks of info. Doesn't look too off putting for an unconfident reader.


Appreciated!

    • But all those examples sell a wide variety of things,  and mostly they are well spread out along Lordship Lane. These two shops both sell one very specific thing, albeit in different flavours, and are just across the road from each other. I don't think you can compare the distribution of shops in Roman times to the distribution of shops in Lordship Lane in the twenty first century. Well, you can, but it doesn't feel very appropriate. Haa anybody asked the first shop how they feel? Are they happy about the "healthy competition" ?
    • ED is included in the 17 August closure set (or just possibly 15 August, depending on which part of the page you trust more) listed at https://metro.co.uk/2025/07/25/full-list-25-poundland-stores-confirmed-close-august-23753048/. Here incidentally are some snippets from their annual reports, at https://find-and-update.company-information.service.gov.uk/company/02495645/filing-history. 2022: " during the period we opened 41 stores and closed 43 loss-making/under-performing stores.  At the period-end we were trading from 821 stores in the UK, IoM and ROI. ... "We renogotiated 82 leases in the year, saving on average 45% versus the prior lease agreement..." 2023: "We also continued to improve our market footprint through sourcing better store locations, opening 53 and closing 51 stores during the year." 2024:  "The ex-Wilco stores acquired in the prior year have formed a core part of this strategy to expand our store network.  We favour quality over quantity and during the period we opened 84 stores and closed 71 loss-making/under-performing ones."
    • Ha! After I posted this, I thought of lots more examples. Screwfix and the hardware store? Mrs Robinson and Jumping Bean? Chemists, plant shops, hairdressers...  the list goes on... it's good to have healthy competition  Ooooh! Two cheese shops
    • You've got a point.  Thinking Leyland and Screwfix too but this felt different.
