In the Kindred Spirits series, we meet the ghosts of
historical characters, in a range of contemporary settings. Have you ever
wondered what Richard III and Anne Boleyn might have in common, what Mary,
Queen of Scots is getting up to now, or what happens when the visitors leave
some of the most popular attractions in the country? Well, here’s your chance!
In the third of the Kindred Spirits series, we visit
Westminster Abbey, and I hope you enjoy meeting a new community of ghosts.
Mind, with modern travel so easy these days, a few faces we’ve already
encountered might just show up too…
On hallowed ground…
With over three thousand burials and memorials, including seventeen monarchs, life for the ghostly community of Westminster Abbey was never going to be a quiet one. Add in some fiery Tudor tempers, and several centuries-old feuds, and things can only go one way: chaotic.
Against the backdrop of England’s most important church, though, it isn't all tempers and tantrums. Poets' Corner hosts poetry battles and writing workshops, and close friendships form across the ages.
With the arrival of Mary Queen of Scots, however, battle ensues. Will Queens Mary I and Elizabeth I ever find their common ground, and lasting peace?
The bestselling Kindred Spirits series continues within the ancient walls of Westminster Abbey.
