Book Review By Danell Leblanc
Mary Queen of Scots by Antonia Fraser

This is a very detailed detailed biography of Mary Queen of Scots. It covers her life from birth, her life in France, her return to Scotland and her death in England. The author has delved into all the great stories about Queen Mary, the Kirk o'Field murder, the Casket Letters, and the Babinton Plot. Great pains were taken to set Queen Mary's story in the context of the age in which she lived.
