Summary
Summary
Welcome to the bizarre court of Henry VIII, where even a princess fears losing her head like her mother. Elizabeth hides her tenacious personality from everyone, especially her father. Your 21st-century kid will enjoy Elizabeth's "treasonous thoughts" and glimpse the daily life of a young woman who ascended the throne at 25 and went on to rule her country for 45 years.Editorial Reviews
Editorial Reviews
“Elizabeth, the daughter of King Henry VIII and Anne Boleyn, shares her day-to-day life from the ages of 11 to 14.…History is conveyed, accurately for the most part, in an entertaining fashion. Narrator Josephine Bailey’s light British accent is perfect for a young Elizabeth’s first person point-of-view set in diary format.” —School Library Journal
Josephine Bailey reads with a haughty confidence. Her well-enunciated accent sounds royal as she mixes palace intrigue with preteen concerns of school and friends. —AudioFile
