Treason was loaned to me by somebody who frequently asked me if I was reading it yet or I probably never would have. This is a pre-Ender book – as in written before Ender’s Game. Traditionally children attending school were expected to pay ‘school pence’. This meant parents finding 1d per week per child to pay the school master. Very often it was not simply a question of cash. There would be very practical reasons why a child could not go to school. Sometimes, as in Yerbeston, many people were too poor to provide clothing for their children

In 2008 the former attorney-general, Lord Goldsmith QC, published a report on his review of British citizenship. One of his recommendations was for a "thorough reform and rationalisation of the law" of treason. [76]

I normally hate first-person books, but he does a good job. I know earlier I said I don't like his first-person voice, but that's just because I'm so much more comfortable with third-person omniscient. It was weird specifically to me. Berlie Doherty is one of the UK’s favourite children’s authors. She has been writing for over twenty years and is published in more than twenty languages. She is a prolific writer of novels, storybooks, picture books, and plays. Berlie lives in Derbyshire. A wonderful, well-written story… Doherty once again succeeds in producing a book that, along with being entertaining, has much to offer younger readers in terms of learning about history… I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend this charming novel to my upper-primary pupils.

violating the king's wife, or the sovereign's eldest unmarried daughter, or the sovereign's eldest son's wife (only if the eldest son is also heir to the throne) Figure out, okay!? Want to rub your breasts because it feels good? Cool. Just say it and move on. It gets really awkward when you tell me that you think you're supposed to feel motherly or that you're apparently irresistible to men. It's just weird and annoying. In addition to the crime of treason, the Treason Felony Act 1848 (still in force today) created a new offence known as treason felony, with a maximum sentence of life imprisonment instead of death (but today, due to the abolition of the death penalty, the maximum penalty both for high treason and treason felony is the same—life imprisonment). Under the traditional categorisation of offences into treason, felonies, and misdemeanours, treason felony was merely another form of felony. Several categories of treason which had been introduced by the Sedition Act 1661 were reduced to felonies. While the common law offences of misprision and compounding were abolished in respect of felonies (including treason felony) by the Criminal Law Act 1967, which abolished the distinction between misdemeanour and felony, misprision of treason and compounding treason are still offences under the common law. Very much a fun history lesson about the Tudors. You get transported to that time and find out about Henry VIII and his son, about the rich and poor divide. Also about religion at the time, how people were hanged for being Catholic. But as I've noticed with Orson Scott Card, he takes this as an opportunity to prove that he's edgy. I can't stand this with ANY author, and that counts with Brandon Sanderson too. Please remember, I love OSC's work. I just can't deny that he seems to jump at the chance to talk about excretion, sex, et cetera. And it's just really uncomfortable most of the time.The Law Commission (1977) Treason, Sedition and Allied Offences (Working Paper No.72), Part II, pp.7–40. BAILII Treason is a revisitation of Card's second novel, A Planet Called Treason. By his own count, he has re-written about 10% of the novel, maintaining the plot and simply refining the storytelling. It does seem very evidently to be one of his earlier works, but I believe that works to the story's advantage. He says in his author's note at the beginning that The setting is that of a prison planet, inhabited by family-based clans that have all been exiled--paying penance a thousand years after a failed uprising. Each family has advanced dramatically in a particular area of specialty ranging from physics, to philosophy, to genetics, and offer their particular/peculiar services in exchange for an element that is critical to their eventual escape, but not conveniently native to the planet – Iron. I gave the book 4 stars, so why does this get 5? The reader was pretty good, but not enough to give it another star. No, it's just a very good book & I rounded up this time because I found out a couple of things about Card over the years.

Now, there is definitely a point to the story. But-- and here genre fans will gasp in horror-- the point is not in the science fiction. Card is (I can only assume deliberately) playing extremely fast and loose with the consistency of the story, and with all of the realistic and scientific aspects. The point is character, and specifically (because this is a Card novel) one character, the hero, Lanik Mueller. As much as it has the trappings of science fiction, Treason really uses its setting more like fantasy or even magical realism, to explore Lanik's character and identity as he asks the questions, "who am I?" and "what kind of life should I live?". In the beginning, they talk about how Lanik Mueller, the protagonist (I think), is a Rad and how Rads work, they bring up another fascinating point: hormones would likely change how Rads grow and mature. What better way to explain that than puberty?
