An Ambleside year is a year of the Ambleside Online programme, not a reader's age. Year 0 is its first year, and a book used over several years shows the span. The ages beside it are that band offered two grades up and none down, which is how we offer a band; they are a placement, not a reading measure.
Historical fiction which brings to life the many factors of living in the middle of life or death struggle between Catholic and Protestant forces in Queen Elizabeth’s England. The story has a young heroine in Cicely Talbot, a baby rescued from the sea and raised in a Protestant home, but actually a daughter of the Catholic queen, Mary of Scotland. She and Mary find each other as well as common ground, so that when Mary’s trial and execution are described, the reader feels the sacred loss of family and life.
