Ilustration Toward Books Immortal Queen

On February 8th, 1587, a woman of forty-four, regal, elegant, but no longer beautiful, knelt to lay her head upon a block. At the third stroke of the axe the order signed by Queen Elizabeth I of England was carried out, and the turbulent life of Mary, Queen of Scots was ended. — "Immortal Queen" tells the story of that life, from Mary's childhood days in France to her death at Fotheringay. The narrative is in the highest tradition of historical fiction - vivid, alive, and rich in pageantry. From the first page the reader is lost in a world of nearly four centuries ago, a world of drama and torturous intrigue, of treachery and high courage. Mary, a widow and a queen at the age of eighteen, dies as courageously as she had lived; and Bothwell, that lion of a man who perished a madman in a Danish prison, more that matches her in courage - and is the one man she could trust among many who would betray her and plot her downfall. All spring to life in this enthralling, unforgettable book.

i could read this book over and over and over again. the first copy i read was my mother's. Then i bought my own copy off amazon. i made a clamshell box for my copy to help preserve it. I buy copies whenever i see them in used book stores, sometimes for 20 or 30 bucks. This book is worth it. I'm sad it is out of print. One of my personal life classics. I LOVE IT.

Elizabeth Byrd writes with a flair for the dramatic, while at the same time keeping true to the historical facts of Mary's life. Ms. Byrd paints Mary as a real woman, with real feelings and desires. . .

Its well written and well researched. Everyone comes out looking pretty bad - so much so you wonder how anyone could have written favorably about this time period.

The best fictional portrayal of this tragic queen that I've read so far. It's hard to sympathize with Mary until you realize what a sheltered and privileged life she led up to returning to Scotland. She was I'll equipped to rule. This booked was pretty accurate and the fiction was believable.
