Originally published in 2016 My Lady Jane is a hilarious, intelligent and tongue in cheek alternative history of the doomed "nine days Queen" Lady Jane Grey, featuring shapeshifters, young love, back stabbing and courtly plotting, politics, death threats and crazy family dynamics. As Jane comes to terms with her husband turning into a horse every morning, her cousin Edward being on the brink of death and her father in law's plotting to make her Edward's heir, all Jane wants to do is be left alone with her books, but destiny has other plans. This book has been turned into a fantastic TV series for Prime which sadly has not been renewed for a second season but if you are a fan of the show and disappointed at the news, make sure to get your hands on the book which has been re-issued with a a new tie-in cover and even better the writing team behind the book have written several more novels turning history on its head for you to enjoy. This is a perfect read for those who grew up watching Horrible Histories and enjoy fun historical fantasies such as Apprentice to the Villain by Hannah Nicole Maehrer or Long Live Evil by Sarah Rees Brennan. Out now from Walker Books
