Why read it?
1 author picked Elizabeth I as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
To be honest, I realized I was at the end of the list and all the books I mentioned were centered around Henry VIII and his era! Elizabeth was just as important and interesting as her crazy father, perhaps even more so. This book is more non-fiction, but again beautifully readable.
From Janet's list on for Tudor fans.
