Fascinating nonfiction about the lives of Duchess Jacquetta, Elizabeth Woodville, and Margaret Beauford. Each of these women, Philippa Gregory has written novels about: The Rivers Women, the White Queen, and the Red Queen, respectively.

If Bill Bryson used cuss words and wrote a book about the British monarchy, this would be it. Funny, irreverent, and I afraid of finding the hilarity in a whole system that claims a gold hat makes you a ruler. The book flits between the facts of each monarch but doesn‘t go too deep with any of them. Come for the history, stay for the humor.

AvidReader25 @BkClubCare It‘s not, but I‘d be lying if I said I didn‘t pick up the book because I thought it was him. 🤣 1mo

This #chunkster was a fantastic and in-depth read regarding Queen Elizabeth the First. If you're a fan of historic nonfiction reads I highly recommend this author. You will be given a lot of information but in a way thatbit almost reads as a work of fiction. In otherwords not like a textbook.

Lots of fascinating detail about how the First Folio made it into print. But also lots that isn't (can't?) be known.

I'll be first into the time travelling machine to check out the bookstalls in St Paul's courtyard c.1623 please...

LeahBergen Beautiful photo! And pick up a copy for me, too, while you‘re there, please. 😆 2mo
charl08 @LeahBergen it's the chance to see all the other things too - the stuff that never survived... 2mo
