As a girl of eleven or twelve, I loved Molly Haycraft's airy romances about royal women. Reading this book as an adult, however, I must say I found it a bit too insubstantial.
While basically sweet and innocent in tone, the book does show the down side of princesshood, particularly the forced political marriages often devoid of love or even liking.
Elizabeth is a likeable heroine, and if you're in the mood for something light and love reading about British royals, especially the Plantagenets, as I do, you'll probably enjoy this story.
Want to read a really great book about Edward I and his family, by a natural storyteller who makes history come vividly alive? Read THE THREE EDWARDS by Thomas B. Costain (Molly Haycraft's father!).
