I was a little surprised at just how floral the prose was until I realised it was written in the 1940s.You have read the stories about Queen Anne and King Henry but what about Princess Elizabeth? She and Tom are playing a dangerous game. It is a bit confused at first as to whether it is teaching people the history of the royal children or telling the story; the history textbook feel is added to by the fact that some phrases are lifted from historical documents and letters.

Elizabeth I is one of my favorite historical figures and I have done quite a bit of reading about her – but most of it is from the time after she ascended to the throne.
And you should never have to force yourself to read a book (except for school). Katherine Parr survived Henry VIII's moody old age, only to fall victim to the tender mercies of the passionate Seymour and his heedless ambition. Brilliant, badass, and seemingly bulletproof, the members of A-Tac are assigned to the riskiest missions and the most elusive targets. It is part of a trilogy and the other books are also due to be reprinted. She is best known for her trilogy about Elizabeth I: Young Bess, Elizabeth Captive Princess, and Elizabeth and the Prince of Spain.
