Queen's Own Fool (Stuart Quartet, 3)

Queen's Own Fool (Stuart Quartet, 3)

Fans of historical sagas and the CW show Reign will be swept up by this clever tale by Jane Yolen and Robert HarrisÂ

Once she was a traveling player . . . Now called La JardiniÃ¨re, a resourceful and clever jester to the queenâ€™s court, Nicola was a most unlikely person to end up â€œfoolâ€ and friend to Mary, Queen of Scots. But Nicola isnâ€™t an ordinary comedian tumbling and clowning before the court; her quick wit and sharp tongue are rare amongst the fawning nobles. As fate takes Mary from France to Scotland, and into confrontations with rebellious lords and devious advisors, Nicola remains deep in the queenâ€™s inner circle. But when the Scots start to turn on Queen Mary, Nicola struggles to find somethingâ€”anythingâ€”that she, just a fool, can do to save her friend.

â€œBased deeply in fact and full of detail both luscious and sordid. . . . [Yolen and Harris] spin a historical tale of great immediacy and impact.â€â€”Kirkus Reviews

"This rich and involving novel of Mary Queen of Scots and her court will have readers clamoring to know more about this dramatic period in French and Scottish history. Readers are treated to a fascinating look at royal politics."â€”School Library JournalÂ
