| Plot Summary of Mary, Queen of Scots |
|---|
"This book details the fictional life of the famous short-lived Mary, Queen of Scotland and the Isles. The author uses historical facts to weave her tale, detailing Mary's marriages, political upheavals, revolts in her kingdom, and her final flight to England. Mary seeks shelter and protection from her cousin, Queen Elizabeth, but is instead imprisoned, then executed. This is an extroirdinary novelization of a fascinating historical figure."
Amanda Goodwin, Resident Scholar
