Book Reviews of Mary Queen of Scots
Book Review: "Mary Queen of Scots" is definitely a worthwhile read.
Summary: 5 Stars
"Mary Queen of Scots" by Antonia Fraser is an extremely informative, well-researched account of the tragic life of the infamous Scots' queen. She (Fraser) managed to dispel many myths about Mary Stuart and did a wonderful job of transporting the reader back to the age of the Renaissance. I have only two "negative" comments to make about this otherwise excellent narrative: first, the author has an extensive vocabulary and I recommend keeping a dictionary nearby. Secondly, the author tends to assume that her readers already know who certain people are without ever actually "introducing" them to the reader; she also fails to offer definitions or descriptions of many of the everyday, 16th century items that she mentions throughout the book; again, a dictionary will probably be needed in order to identify what these items were and what they were used for; again, she just assumes that the reader is already familiar with these things. Other than that, I highly recommend this most wonderful book.
