The first volume of Plowden'sacclaimed Elizabethan quartet charts the first 25 years of Elizabeth's lifeAlison Plowden'scaptivating portrait of the young Elizabeth Tudor, bringing to life her many identities as ruler, woman, and politician, is a triumph of narrative history.

Many tried to use her for their own ends, however she rose out of the shadows and on the death of her sister, she became GlorianaEngland's most iconic queen."
