Send to friendMarvellous. Not to be missed. Read it aloud if they 'don't like history' or just aren't up to tackling it. This story of Boudicca, Queen of the Iceni, says more about life, love, loyalty, courage and violence than a whole shelf of 'socially relevant teenage novels'. Joint winner of the Other Award 1978.
