About this product

Product Information

Author ofMarie Antoinette She was the quintessential queen: statuesque, regal, dazzlingly beautiful. Her royal birth gave her claim to the thrones of two nations; her marriage to the young French dauphin promised to place a third glorious crown on her noble head. Instead, Mary Stuart became the victim of her own impulsive heart, scandalizing her world with a foolish passion that would lead to abduction, rape and even murder. Betrayed by those she most trusted, she would be lured into a deadly game of power, only to lose to her envious and unforgiving cousin, Elizabeth I. Here is her story, a queen who lost a throne for love, a monarch pampered and adored even as she was led to her beheading, the unforgettable woman who became a legend for all time.

Reviews
"A book that will leave few readers unmoved." -- San Francisco Chronicle "She was sometimes reviled as a scheming whore, sometimes revered as a misunderstood martyr. But she was invariably regarded as fascinating. Antonia Fraser's richly readable biography demonstrates that Mary's great fascination continues unabated." -- Time "One of the most fascinating figures in history." -- The Columbus Dispatch "Compassionate, illuminating, rich in human interest." -- The New York Times "With grace, sensitivity and a sharp eye for detail, Lady Antonia Fraser has succeeded not only in recapturing the real Mary from the symbol but also in illuminating the chaotic age in which she lived." -- Newsweek, "A book that will leave few readers unmoved." - San Francisco Chronicle "She was sometimes reviled as a scheming whore, sometimes revered as a misunderstood martyr.

  • Better than Fiction!

    I have become obsessed with the English monarchy and after reading a book about Queen Elizabeth 1 I decided to pick up a book about her cousin Mary Queen of Scots. This book is a tremendous read...it looks daunting but it reads just like a novel. The story of Mary Queen of Scots is better than fiction and this book is very detailed without being monotonous. Do not hesitate, buy this book!
