The Lady Elizabeth/The Innocent Traitor

(click on the pictures to got to Amazon.co.uk and by the book.)


These are both by Alison Weir and they are both novels based on fact. The Lady Elizabeth is about Queen Elizabeth I before she became Queen. It is about her childhood with the mercurial temper of her father. You also learn about the constant suspicion she lived under during Mary's reign. you can really feel her feelings and I strongly recommend reading it.
The Innocent Traitor is about Lady Jane Grey and it is if anything even better than teh Lady Elizabeth. It is from many points of view so you get the full story and the end is really sad I cried the whole way through the last chapter.
The Lady Elizabeth (/5):****
The Innocent Traitor (/5): *****
