“The life of Anne of Brittany is traced in detail against a vivid background of court life during the Renaissance. . . . Useful to schools for its portrayal of the times, this has enough romance to appeal to girls.”

“On her father’s death in 1488, Anne of Brittany, at twelve, became ruler of a fiercely independent land beset by hostile neighbors. Through sieges, wars, political upheaval, and personal tragedy, the beloved little duchess, only woman to marry two French kings, triumphed. Vivid description of a glorious era.”
