“Love all things Tudor!”

• Rated 3 stars

“So far I am enjoying this book although the print in this edition is very small. I already know quite a bit about Elizabeth, who is an interesting subject, but I like Weir's writing style and particuarly recommend her six wives of henry the eigth. Weir manages to be informative yet still entertaining. ”

“Alison Weir is the best author of Tudor family biographies. It's like reading a novel! ”

• Rated 4 stars

“A great biography with lovely little details that bring out the human side of this iconic queen. Very easy to read, more like a historic novel than a history book, it makes you wonder what's going to happen next. ”

“Excellent book. Well written and very detailed. I first read this book years ago and am reading it again.”

• Rated 4 stars

“She lived such an incredible life.”

• Rated 5 stars

“After reading two of Weir's books in a row, I am firmly convinced that she is one of the most thorough English historians out there. This biography of Elizabeth was in-depth, and it provided so much detail about the occurrences in France and Spain that caused Elizabeth to behave how she did in matters of foreign policy. There were numerous examples of text from the period showing both Elizabeth's periods of self-doubt and her subjects' love for her. She was an incredible woman, an awe-inspiring queen, and I would recommend this bio as the definitive study of the woman behind the legend of the Virgin Queen.”
