About this listen
Brought to you by Penguin.
Join historian Suzannah Lipscomb as she reveals the hidden secrets of palaces, castles, theatres and abbeys to uncover the stories of Tudor England. From the famous palace at Hampton Court where dangerous court intrigue was rife, to less well-known houses, such as Anne Boleyn's childhood home at Hever Castle or Tutbury Castle, where Mary Queen of Scots was imprisoned, follow in the footsteps of the Tudors in the places that they knew.
In the corridors of power and the courtyards of country houses, we meet the passionate but tragic Kateryn Parr, Henry VIII's last wife; Lady Jane Grey, the nine-day queen; and hear how Sir Walter Raleigh planned his trip to the New World. This lively and engaging book reveals the rich history of the Tudors and paints a vivid and captivating picture of what it would have been like to live in Tudor England.

Perfect
I have always loved Suzannah’s documentaries, and she writes a wonderful book here. While some of the text leads you to believe you might be missing out on a few tid bits without the physical copy, I happily sacrifice that to listen to her narration. It’s like a documentary you can close your eyes too. Makes falling asleep very relaxing.

Fantastic and inspiring
Firstly, I live listening to and watching Suzannah. I find her passion for history mesmerising. If I have anything negative to say, it’s that I would have liked this to be longer, more detailed. Maybe Suzannah should have her other Tudor pieces on audible

Informative and enjoyable
a very enjoyable listen. full of interesting facts and highlights a few places I'll have to go visit again and some for the first time.
I never realised there was a new pronunciation of Sir Walter Raleigh agreed by academics. Took me a moment to realise who they were talking about!

Wonderful!
This book is glorious, I can’t put into words adequately how much I’ve enjoyed it.
Suzannah does a fantastic job of narrating, she’s witty and engaging.
I’m excited to visit some of the places listed in this book.

History made interesting.
An interesting and informative history of Tudor times and history.
I have visited many of the locations in this book without really knowing the history and will certainly visit many again, armed with this book.
Excellently narrated by Dr. Lipscomb.

Love this book
I loved this book. Suzannah Lipscombe guides you through the places and provides fascinating insights on the people of the time. I love that each place in the book still exists in some form and can therefore be visited today (barring a couple of private houses of course!) I love a history book and this one did not disappoint. Its detailed without being overly crammed with information which makes it accessible, as well as interesting. I've added some places to visit to my list for 2023 as well thanks to this book. I finished it in a day I enjoyed it so much. If you like history then this is for you.
