Jean Plaidy was one of the most beloved and successful historical novelists of the 20th century. In Spring, 2003, Three Rivers Press began publishing a series of 10 reissues of Plaidy's most popular novels. Their success (more than 72,500 copies of the first four books in print) exceeded all expectations and whetted the appetite of historical fiction readers for more novels from this master of the genre. Here, then, art the fifth and sixth novels in the series. Jean Plaidy presents Elizabeth I, England's greatest monarch, in the many stages of her dramatic life a bewildered, motherless child of an all-powerful father, a captive in the Tower of London, a consummate politician and statesman, a would-be lover frustrated by the exigencies of politics and power, and eventually, the icon of her era who launched England into the time of its greatest glory.
