A Highly Entertaining Book Based on Accurate Facts

I would highly recommend this book to anyone with an interest in Elizabeth I. Although it is written in a storybook fashion with the characters "speaking" to one another, it is factually accurate and puts you in the center of the action. I think the author has done a marvellous job of interweaving actual historical facts with her character's dialog and actions. Its' writing style makes the characters seem vividly real and gets the reader emotionally involved. As a schoolboy in England, I had studied text books about Elizabeth, but this book gave me a whole new level of respect for someone who I had already held in high esteem. Highly recommended.
