Meet old friends and new acquaintances in "Mistress Meg and the Silver Bell." It's the event of the season, but murky undercurrents swirl around Marcaster as Sir Richard Grasset and Sir John Widderis prepare to match their best horses against each other for the prize of a glorious silver bell. Not only that, but the assizes are due and at least one notorious criminal is expected to hang. Unexpected meetings turn to opportunities for the Jingler, the Frater and Ruby - but what will the outcome be? Danger awaits the rogues, and also Meg, Matthew, Cornelius and friends, in this, the second book in the "Mistress Meg and the Elizabethan Rogues" series. Praise for "Mistress Meg and the Silver Bell" from a reviewer of the Kindle edition: "[Miriam Bibby] is a splendid writer! The evocation of period and the attention to detail is wonderful. I strongly urge those who enjoy well crafted historical fiction to treat themselves... to my mind, Ms Bibby knocks spots off the competition in this field." Praise for "Mistress Meg and the Prigger of Prancers" from a Kindle reviewer: "Lovers of historical fiction please note this is a *gem*, the characters are skillfully constructed and interwoven into a plot which keeps the reader engaged and guessing until the very last page."

Meet Mistress Meg, Matthew, Cornelius Nose-all and their friends and acquaintances in Mistress Meg and the Prigger of Prancers, the first book in the "Mistress Meg and the Elizabethan Rogues" series. There's mischief brewing in the town of Guildern. Mistress Meg and her mysterious servants Matthew and Cornelius are staying at the Goat in Chains Inn, and her intuition and skills are already having an effect on the trade of the local cunning-man. When a parcel of rogues also arrives in Guildern just before the local fair there's sure to be trouble - and a valuable horse is at the centre of it. The temptation is too much for one prigger of prancers, the roguish name for a horse thief. Life on the road in Tudor times was hard and dangerous, but there was also humour and comradeship. All this is reflected in this picaresque novel, the first in the "Mistress Meg and the Elizabethan Rogues" series, set in England in Shakespeare's day.
