A Proud Taste for Scarlet and Miniver by E.L. Konigsburg

4.0

A very readable historical fiction about Eleanor of Aquitaine and her influence on the English throne and its succession. The plot device of having Eleanor in Heaven, looking back on her life 800 years after her death, was interesting and allowed the characters to speak in 'modern' English, making it easier to read for the intended middle grade audience. I loved Eleanor's wit and snarky attitude.
