Boudica by V Collingridge
The Queen of Iceni, Boudica, has been immortalised as the woman who dared take on the Romans to avenge her daughters, her enslaved country. From the matriachal tribes of her East Anglian childhood to the battlefields of her defeat and suicide, this story brings research and insight to one of the key figures in British history and mythology.
"'I am fighting as an ordinary person for my lost freedom, my brulsed body and outraged daughters' Tacitus account of the Boudican revolt"
This is Vanessa Collingridge's second book. Her first, Captain Cook, was described as 'Extremely engaging,' Sunday Times, and 'Lively and ambitious,' Spectator. Having studied Geography at Oxford, Vanessa became a writer and broadcaster for the Telegraph, Radio 4, and ITV's Tonight. During 2004 she will present a two-day live astrological watch with Adam Hart-Davies on BBC1, a series on Scottish history for STV/Grampian and will be one of Alan Titchmarsh's co-presenters in a major new BBC TV series The Natural History of Britain.
