|title=Josephine: Desire, Ambition, Napoleon

|author=Kate Williams

|rating=4

|genre=Biography

Squabbles ensued when there were not enough Horrid Henry books to meet demand.

She takes inspiration from nature and uses it to tell a story across the pages of her private journal. A simple pressed gorse flower brings back warm memories of a carefree day at the cove with her best friend, a bold peony is a bitter reminder of an unwelcome suitor and a handful of poisonous tansy is the key to her biggest secret of all...
