'Early 17th Century England, in which Stolen Lives is set, tends to be a disregarded period in historical fiction writing, with the majority of writing concentrating on the 1605 Gunpowder Plot or the mid-century Civil War.

In the news: our fabulous new book The Storming of Cirencester tells the story of the important civil war battle for the town in 1643. The book serves as a guide to the key events and locations, told in short stories by 59 Year 5 pupils of Powell's School in Cirencester.

Lorna Brookes our main editor led the project: "This book is the first stage of a long-held wish to use the power of our publishing house to foster young talent. The recently issued a report which revealed that children's writing enjoyment has hit the lowest level they've ever recorded. I'm delighted that this project has done more than encourage the children to write. It's shown them that they can create a book too."

THE STORMING OF CIRENCESTER is in shops now. Also available online through all the usual outlets
