This is a somewhat novelized biography of Elizabeth I of England.

I read Vance's books from about ages 8 to about 12 - I grabbed every one that I could find. This is handsomely illustrated wit black and white drawings. ( )

I ADORED this book when I was in the 6th grade. I was a Tudor junkie back then and read everything I could get my hands on. Even though the dialogue is fictionalized, it rings true and made the history more real to me. Nedda Walker's illustrations are breathtaking. ( )
