Master Sandy’s Snapdragon

Master Sandy's Snapdragon opens on Christmas Eve 1611 in the palace at Whitehall, where young Prince Charles wins the "lucky raisin" from a flaming bowl of brandy and earns the right to name his boon. Urged by his admired elder brother Henry, the eleven-year-old prince stuns the royal court by demanding the release of Sir Walter Raleigh from the Tower — a request that ignites the King's fury and draws the cold disapproval of Spain's powerful ambassador. What follows is a tense clash between a boy's loyalty, a father's pride, and the unyielding weight of politics.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/ririro-com-short-stories--6577582/support.
