'This anthology picks up on not just the expected, but hones in on the misfits, the misunderstood, the forgotten, the interesting, the known but not as you expected, the almost unknown and the possibly wish you hadn't known power brokers of British history... Aimed at children 8+, we think the Head That Wears The Crown would make an ideal class reader for upper KS2 pupils (Years 5 & 6 in primary school) either as a text for history topics or as impetus for reading and writing lessons.'
