Stories of Queens

History Comes To Life

Welcome to my collection of stories about royal women!

All of my stories are for children, parents and grandparents (and anybody at all, really!) who enjoys reading about these women from history in a way that imagines their world to understand who they were, where they were from, big events that shaped their lives and decisions, and how those decisions in turn shaped the world.

Browse through a wonderful and ever-growing collection of fun and interesting biographies and stories about both queens and kings, many of which have been contributed by authors and writers from around the world!

When you scroll to the bottom of this page, you can receive a FREE download of the gorgeous artwork from Artemisia II: Ancient Queen of Caria as seven beautiful colouring in pages!

Make sure you subscribe to receive email updates when more artwork and activities for kids are added as free downloads!

The books that make up the stories are so versatile: suitable to be given as pretty gifts in a soft cover that is delightful to hold; perfect to be read as bedtime stories for young children; and great as educational resources especially when used with the included maps and timelines.

However you choose to use these stories is up to you!

Just know that once you begin to read the first page you are part of the Stories of Queens lineage; another storyteller that is keeping the stories of these royal women alive and passing them down to the next generation.

And how beautiful is that.

I have enjoyed writing these stories with my own daughters, and we want to share them with you! Please browse down below and take a little time a look through the sample pages.

If my books are something you would love to have or to gift to someone special, please subscribe and you will receive an email as soon as it is published and ready to be delivered to you.

I’m Jennifer

Welcome to Stories of Queens!

I’m a mother of four children in Southern Tasmania, and I have a love for history, particularly royal history.

I have been inspired to create beautiful books about queens, and kings, in stories that can be read easily to young children.

With artwork from young artists in Tasmania, maps and timelines, these books are sure to delight both children and adults. The stories are just as suitable for bedtime stories as they are for educational or leisurely reading.

I hope these books will leave you and your children excited to discover more about the lives of kings and queens, the events of history that surrounded them, and how they shaped the world around them.

But most of all, I hope they will be enjoyed and become your favourite books to reach for!
