But not everything is as it seems, in the book or in her life, and Jessie is determined to find the truth. The History has a history of its own. Unravelling its secrets might be the biggest mischief of all. Join Rebecca as she takes you on a journey through 2000 years of history, covering the historical figures, unusual places and mysterious folklore that went into her book.
