Description

<p><span style="color:rgb(15,17,17);font-family:'Amazon Ember', Arial, sans-serif;font-size:14px;">First, he led his own uprising. Then he captured a forsaken king. Henry had no intention of taking the crown for himself; it was given to him by popular acclaim. Alas, it didn't take long to realize that that having the kingship was much less rewarding than striving for it. Only three months after his coronation, Henry IV had to face a rebellion led by Richard's disgruntled favorites. Repressive measures led to more discontent.

Story Behind The Book

The Violet Series of books are written by an eight-year-old, an eleven-year-old, and a grandma. Oddly enough, the main characters are an eight-year-old, an eleven-year-old, and a grandma. The books are fun for girls 6-12 or anyone else who wants a good laugh. Roxanne Smolen, Aurora Smolen, and Persephone Smolen make up the writing team of R.A.P. Smolen. They write with love, laughter, and lollipops, and enjoy brainstorming sessions every Sunday. Look for another of Violet's adventures coming soon.
