Description
Taken from her mother and shipped to England as an exhibit for Sir Walter Raleigh, Nadie, a Native American, is thrust into the boiling pot of brutish Tudor life. Her only protector is Tom, a young blacksmith who falls in love with her. Too soon, however, Nadie is forced back to her exotic lands to help the English colonize her people.Tags

Pauline Francis is particularly intrigued by the 16th century. "The more I learn about it, the more it fascinates me." Pauline admits to a lifelong fascination with Lady Jane Grey and found it frustrating that "she was always just a line in a history book". As she says, "I wrote Raven Queen to try to get to know her better". With 20 years of show more experience as a Secondary school teacher and trained librarian, Pauline has a passion for teaching and encouraging creative writing. Pauline had her first book published in 1994, and has had several books published since, including a number of retellings of well-known classics. Author location: Hertfordshire show less
