Book description
It's the height of summer and the palace is full of ambassadors and
ladies from the Spanish court. When a visit to the famous St
Bartholomew's fair is planned to entertain the guests, Grace jumps at
the chance to get out for the day. Not everybody feels the same though
and there's a lot of superstision amongst the ladies about the
gypsies, fortune tellers and herbal medicine that will be at the fair.
When a mysterious fire at the fair leaves Lady Sarah injured and a
gypsy woman dead, it seems the ladies were right to be worried. But
was the fire started on purpose? And can Grace get to the bottom of
this mystery?
Lady Grace Cavendish was a Maid of Honour at the court of Queen
Elizabeth, She became a ward of court after both her parents were
tragically killed in the service of the Queen. Her daybooks, written for
her own pleasure, have now reached a wide audience.
