A Book You Can't Put Down!!
I actually got this book from a garage sale and I started reading it, thinking it was one of those books that would put me to sleep at night..I was so wrong! This book is so detailed and interesting that I was addicted to it..It actually gave me a feeling as if I were part of the story!

Awesome Book!
Okay, I was forced to do a book report for school, and I just happened to pick this book off the shelf. I would just like to say, I couldn't put it down! I could just feel myself in those witch gatherings. It was very graphic and descriptive. When I finally gave my report, I grossed the entire class out, and it was extremely edited! I left 3/4 of what happened out. I tell ya, this book is not for the squeamish. It's excellent.

2nd book in a set of 3 excellent historical novels
This book picks up where the first book in this trilogy "I am Mary Tudor" finishes. It covers the years from her accession to the Throne, to her marriage to Phillip of Spain and her first "pregnancy" and finishes when she is expecting her first child.

These are excellent very "realistic" novels. They really bring home how much of international diplomacy etc hang on trifles like 'precedence'and imagined slights to honour. The author has obviously put a great deal of research into these books and for me they have been as good as a well written "real aka academic" biography. Now I've just got to find a copy of the 3rd book "bloody Mary" to finish the story.

This is a highly reccomended, though almost forgotten, historical novels author.

Big and Thick...But Damn Good!
I am Mary Tudor was an excellent book. I love English history, specifically that of the Tudor line, so I was very impressed when I read this book. There is good character description, a good plot, drama, emotion, you name it this book's got it.

A Very accurate historical Novel
This book is about king Henry 8th's eldest daughter Mary Tudor. It covers her life from birth till her un-looked for accension to the throne of England after the death of her brother Edward and after Lady Jane Grey was taken off the throne.

Better known to history as 'bloody Mary', this book details her life and dissapointments before she came to the throne. She went from loved princess and heiress, 'the jewel of england', to Bastard and poverty stricken and unloved and forgotten daughter - all because of her father's quest for a son to succeed him on the throne.

This has to be one of the most accurate of historical novels I have read. The author didn't have to invent what you read in here - most of it is pretty well documented. Just pick up a 'serious' biography to compare it. However, the author does a great job of putting this into the emotional context and development of Mary.

This is the first book in a set, the other 2 books being "Mary the queen" and "bloody Mary". These books were originally printed in the 1970's so they are hard to find now, but worth picking up if you see them.
