Description
Culpeper's Boye by Bill Leedham is set in 1538 England, at the palace of Whitehall. A young man is about to be hanged for theft when his fate is unexpectedly changed with the arrival of the King's pardon. This historical account draws on the contemporary chronicle of Charles Wriothesley, offering a glimpse into the dangers and complexities of Tudor court politics. The story explores the darker aspects of life during this period, yet also reveals moments of humour in the face of adversity. A fascinating and thought-provoking read, Culpeper's Boye sheds light on a lesser-known era in English history.
