Welcome to Stories of Queens!

I’m a mother of four children in Southern Tasmania, and I have a love for history, particularly royal history.

I have been inspired to create beautiful books about queens, and kings, in stories that can be read easily to young children.

With artwork from young artists in Tasmania, maps and timelines, these books are sure to delight both children and adults. The stories are just as suitable for bedtime stories as they are for educational or leisurely reading.

I hope these books will leave you and your children excited to discover more about the lives of kings and queens, the events of history that surrounded them, and how they shaped the world around them.

But most of all, I hope they will be enjoyed and become your favourite books to reach for!
