A Song of Sixpence

The story of Elizabeth of York and Perkin Warbeck

By: Judith Arnopp

Narrated by: Alex Lee

In the years after Bosworth, a small boy is ripped from his rightful place as future king of England. Years later, when he reappears to take back his throne, his sister, Elizabeth, now queen to the invading king, Henry Tudor, is torn between family loyalty and duty.

As the final struggle between the houses of York and Lancaster is played out, Elizabeth is torn by conflicting loyalty, terror, and unexpected love.

Set at the court of Henry VII, A Song of Sixpence offers a new perspective on the early years of Tudor rule. Elizabeth of York, often viewed as a meek and uninspiring queen, emerges as a resilient woman whose strengths lie in endurance rather than resistance.

Enjoyable

Entertaining story line. Enjoyed listening to this while working, cleaning the house and cooking. I can say thank god I am done with having kids bc the way this author described and the way the narrator performed the birthing scenes I can say without a doubt I would be terrified of child birth lol or at least thinking thank god I wasn’t around during the 13th-14th century bc I wouldn’t survive (and I’m not ashamed to say this!) and we now have meds to help with the pain.

Loved this book!

The Narration was great, kept my interest, and even had me crying.This is 1 of my new fav’s now. VERY well done and I look forward to reading other books by this author.
