Lady Grace Cavendish, Lady Pursuivant to Queen Elizabeth I, tells in her diary of the tracking down of the thief who stole part of the Queen’s loan treasure. This mixes real historical figures in a fictional setting and makes for a rollicking and exciting read. With the help of Masou the jester and Ellie the serving girl, Grace tracks down the aristocratic thief who has something of the Scarlet Pimpernel about him as he gets away! Much detail of Elizabethan life, particularly about clothes and food, emerges effortlessly in the seventh story in the series.
