In this "memoir" by Elizabeth I, legendary historical novelist Jean Plaidyreveals the Virgin Queen as she truly was: the bewildered, motherless childof an all-powerful father; a captive in the Tower of London; a shrewd politician; a lover of the arts; and eventually, an icon of an era. It is the story of her improbable rise to power and the great triumphs of her reign--the end of religious bloodshed, the settling of the New World, the defeat ofthe Spanish Armada. Brilliantly clever, a scholar with a ready wit, she was also vain, bold, and unpredictable, a queen who commanded--and won--absolute loyalty from those around her.But in these pages, in her own voice, Elizabeth also recounts the emotionalturmoil of her life: the loneliness of power; the heartbreak of her lifelong love affair with Robert Dudley, whom she could never marry; and the terrible guilt of ordering the execution of her cousin, Mary, Queen of Scots. In this unforgettable novel, Elizabeth emerges as one of the most fascinating and controversial women in history, and as England's greatest monarch.From the Trade Paperback edition.Inside Flap CopyIn this "memoir" by Elizabeth I, legendary historical novelist Jean Plaidy reveals the Virgin Queen as she truly was: the bewildered, motherless child of an all-powerful father; a captive in the Tower of London; a shrewd politician; a lover of the arts; and eventually, an icon of an era.

This volume in Plaidy's Georgian Saga features the English king rememberedchiefly for intermittent madness and the loss of the American colonies. George III, sharing history's stage with such stars as Pitt, the Great Commoner, and beset by public scandals of the exchequer and personal scandals of the boudoir, found solace in the domestic environs of his wife and children.Married to Charlotte, a docile German princess who bore him 15 children, and whose looks were often compared to a crocodile's, George ruled his household with petty tyranny, but as king was hostage to public opinion. A guilt-laden moralist, George struggled with out-of-control family members, particularly the Prince of Wales's notorious liaison with Mrs. Fitzherbert, notonly an actress but a Catholic. Rendered with Plaidy's customary crispness,the turbulent times of George III come to life on a human scale, chronicled as they are in this pleasantly readable historical romance.
