Summary
No one thought that Elizabeth would live to become Queen of England. Her father, Henry VIII, beheaded her mother for treason and then disowned his daughter. Read the true story of how this clever and resourceful little princess lived through imprisonment in the Tower of London and turned down several unwanted proposals of marriage to become England's most glorious queen. See the world of Elizabethan England through the eyes of the woman who made it. Book jacket.
