Beware, Princess Elizabeth by Carolyn Meyer

thisbookishcat's review

emotional tense fast-paced

4.0

I thought this novel did a really good job at conveying (without being too graphic for youth) how tense this period of time was, especially for the English royals. It also tastefully grazed over some of the more unsavoury events, such as the collection and burning of peoples due to religious differences, at this time in history.

All-in-all, a good, quick read if you like history, especially of royals.

I loved this book when I was younger. Every time I finished reading it then I would start it all over again.

Mysterious and interesting insights. Great views from the eyes of Elizabeth herself.
All the rumours spread in Court and life for Elizabeth I becomes suspenseful...

This is the book that got me into learning all about the Tudor dynasty and the Renaissance in general. Would recommend for young girls who wouldn't otherwise want anything to do with history.
