Journey of a Lost Manuscript: The rediscovery in Warrnambool of a Sixteenth Century manuscript believed destroyed by fire
No Customer Reviews
A true story. To interested onlookers at the Tudor court, the birth of a second daughter to Henry VIII, one of the most powerful kings England has ever knows, was a non-event. That she would rise to be their queen was unthinkable. But Elizabeth I reigned for almost forty-five years and was loved by her subjects. Halfway through her reign, in a rural location in West Yorkshire, a scribe acknowledged Elizabeth as monarch on the document he was preparing. He couldn't know his words would be read by people more than four centuries later on the other side of the world. When the old parchment was found inside a copy of Alice in Wonderland in a second hand bookshop, everything about it was a mystery. Discovered to be an Elizabethan manuscript, this is the enthralling story of its travels from Gildersome in Yorkshire, England in 1583 to Warrnambool, Victoria, Australia in 2013. It is a journey with so many twists and lucky escapes it should be a novel - but this is a true story.
