The Nathan Fox series is Lynn Brittney’s contribution to children’s historical adventure fiction. Set during the reign of Elizabeth I, the books follow a young actor recruited as a spy. Dangerous Times (2007) introduces Nathan and his first mission, Traitor’s Gold (2008) sends him after stolen treasure, and Seas of Blood (2017) continues his adventures years after the first two books.
The Elizabethan setting provides natural material for spy stories, with religious conflicts, foreign plots against the queen, and the shadowy world of Renaissance espionage. The books make this history accessible to younger readers through the lens of a relatable young protagonist.
