Roodica the Rude

Roodica the Rude and the Famous Flea Trick
Margaret Ryan, illustrated by Sarah Horne

Long, long ago, when wolves and bears roamed the land, and before underpants had been invented, the Romans conquered Britain. Romans 1 – Celts 0. The Romans built fine houses and straight roads, they encouraged the Celts to take baths. But not everyone liked the Romans. Lots of people fought back. No one more stubbornly than Queen Goodica’s youngest daughter Roodica the Rude!

One in a new three-book series from a top author!
