Medieval Britain is a fascinating period to study, yet many school libraries are lacking in stories set during this time. Barbara Henderson – author of The Siege of Caerlaverock – has picked out her top five recommended children’s books set in the Middle Ages.
Lindsay Littleson, author of The Titanic Detective Agency, has helped us to pick some recommended children’s books about the Titanic.
Lindsay says, “As soon as I began the research for The Titanic Detective Agency I became hooked, and what had been a passing interest became a bit of an obsession. Part of the research involved reading books, both for adults and children, about the Titanic disaster. The children’s novels I’ve chosen for my Top 5 stood out as particularly well researched and engaging reads.”
