Mary Queen of Scots

â‚¬Å“A book that will leave few readers unmoved.â‚¬Ââ‚¬â€œSan Francisco Chronicle

She was the quintessential queen: statuesque, regal, dazzlingly beautiful. Her royal birth gave her claim to the thrones of two nations; her marriage to the young French dauphin promised to place a third glorious crown on her noble head.

Instead, Mary Stuart became the victim of her own impulsive heart, scandalizing her world with a foolish passion that would lead to abduction, rape and even murder. Betrayed by those she most trusted, she would be lured into a deadly game of power, only to lose to her envious and unforgiving cousin, Elizabeth I. Here is her story, a queen who lost a throne for love, a monarch pampered and adored even as she was led to her beheading, the unforgettable woman who became a legend for all time.

Praise for Mary Queen of Scots

â‚¬Å“She was sometimes reviled as a schemingÂ whore, sometimes revered as a misunderstood martyr. But she was invariably regarded as fascinating. Antonia Fraserâ‚¬s richly readable biography demonstrates that Maryâ‚¬s great fascination continues unabated.â‚¬Ââ‚¬"Time

â‚¬Å“Compassionate, illuminating, rich in human interest.â‚¬Ââ‚¬"The New York TimesÂ

â‚¬ÂOne of the most fascinating figures in history.â‚¬ÂÂ â‚¬"The Columbus DispatchÂ

â‚¬Å“With grace, sensitivity, and a sharp eye for detail, lady Antonia Fraser has succeeded not only in recapturing the real Mary from the symbol but also in illuminating the chaotic age in which she lived.â‚¬Ââ‚¬"Newsweek
