E: 21/09 Win a limited edition copy of The White Queen worth £150

clicky

For such a fabulous first prize, we could ask you to form a historical re-enactment society and re-fight the Wars of the Roses, and we think you’d do it – so by comparison, this challenge is a doddle:
  • Answer two questions. You can find the answers by watching the video interview with Phillipa Gregory and looking at the family tree that Simon & Schuster have thoughtfully provided
  • Philippa recently undertook an exciting project to abridge the whole of The White Queen, in Twitter form. For those of you who don’t know (where have you been?), a Twitter post, or Tweet, is limited to 160 characters so it’s quite tough. As a tie-breaker, we want you to produce your own Twitterized version of a short extract from The White Queen. Get inspired by reading all of Elizabeth Woodville’s Tweets.
Please do not post the answers to the questions at the request of the site owner - thanks
