Coventry reimagines the life of Princess Joan, daughter of Eleanor of Aquitaine and King Henry II and sister of Richard the Lion-Hearted. Vibrant writing makes Joan emotionally real and accessible. The detailed descriptions replete with historical tidbits include things the audience will find fascinating: clothing and playthings as well as politics.
