Review: Elizabeth the Great
User Review - CL - GoodreadsA wonderful book that chronicals the daily life of the Queen and the high points of her reign. I totally bought into the author's theory of Elizabeth's virginity. Highly recommended. Read full review

Much more a personal biography of the Queen than a historical tome of the times, The author has focused very tightly on the Queen herself and given little attention to the events of the times. For example, her relationship with Sir Walter Raleigh is more detailed than any of his accomplishments. Likewise, there is little information on the Armada or it's failure but page after page on Elizabeth's actions and reactions at the time.
For admirers of Elizabeth, this book is absolutely a must read.
