This book sends readers back in time to the 1500s. Anne Boleyn has just been executed, and has left behind a three year old daughter, Princess Elizabeth, now to be called Lady Elizabeth, like her half sister Mary. Henry VIII now marries Lady Jane Seymour, and she bears him his greatly desired son, Prince Edward. But alas! poor Jane dies, and Henry goes in search of another wife. He goes on to marry three more times, and then dies. Prince Edward becomes King Edward VI, and his elder sisters look upon him with pride. Sadly, he dies at sixteen. Who should become the next monarch of England? Lady Mary is the rightful heir to the throne, but she is a Catholic. What about Protestant Lady Elizabeth? No, the Earl of Northumberland sees to it that he is king in all but name, and sets his daughter in law Lady Jane Grey upon the throne. Mary will not just sit around while her rightful throne is given to her helpless cousin. Soon she conquers her country and does away with Northumberland, and Lady Jane and her husband. Now Mary horrifies all England by marrying Prince Philip of Spain, her second cousin. Horrible persecutions rage for seven years, until Bloody Mary's death. Now Elizabeth ascends the throne. England is Protestant once more! The book goes through Elizabeth's glorious reign, shows her accomplishments, and who she really was. Elizabeth was a true daughter of Henry VIII, she was vain, proud, flirtatious, and stubborn. She loved gaiety, and yet she could rule her country excellently. Read this book. You can really meet Elizabeth.
