Crown & Spectre: Myths. Legends, & Ghost Stories from The British Royal Family

When an institution dates back for over a millennium, it feels inevitable that it's bound to have picked up a few ghosts along the way. From the spectre of Queen Victoria to Mary Queen of Scots's picky ghost, and from allegations of a Royal Ripper connection to Oliver Cromwell's deathbed visitations, we'll explore the haunted history of the Royal Family.

We'll also be looking at a few other weird tales, including a feral child, lizards in the palace, as well as the alleged lycanthropic king. There'll also be stories of paranormal encounters from various royal residences dotted around the country, plus a punk rock conspiracy and the tragic tale of a forgotten woman in the life of Henry VIII.

Accompanying the book are a series of illustrations that help bring history to life.
