Author's Notes

My inspiration for this novel came from teaching Year 8 students the Babington Plot. The children loved the topic so much we wrote and performed a play. From there on, the idea for the novel was firmly fixed in my mind, and the more I researched the topic, the more fascinated I became. The double-agents, the murky world of espionage, and Secretary Walsingham's intricate plan to entrap the Queen of Scots is bound to appeal to lovers of historical fiction.
