review 1: Another in the Abbott series of short histories of major figures, this book documents the life of Queen Elizabeth as well as her father and his myriad of family. With the recent surge of interest in Elizabeth, including countless books and movies, the gaps in this volume are more evident to modern readers than others in the collection. It is still however consistent with his vision of having widely accessible and easy to read history books.
review 2: This book was written more than 100 years ago and expectedly the author is not free from gender bias...nevertheless one can read it to get a general historical perspective of england during Elizabeth's era..Elizabeth maynot touch your soft corners but there is a grudging admiration and respect for her...she was a... moreble to rule england bcoz of her cautious approach , shrewdness and intelligence...suffered a lot in her early years and lead a celibate life owning to her ambitions to rule...It was during her 45 year rule that england flourished and was much peaceful ..all in all she deserves to be revered n respected ....it takes more statesmanship to maintain peace than to wage a war... less
