A review by helenephoebe
Young Bess by Margaret Irwin

3.0

Review - Not a brilliant telling of the story, but one of the better ones. It is interesting to read about Elizabeth's early life, particularly before the death of her father, Henry VIII, even a fictional retelling, as you don't know how much of it is actually true. It'll be interesting to see how the story continues and how Margaret Irwin deals with the Lady Jane Grey crisis and Elizabeth's imprisonment in the Tower.
