The Memoirs of Mary Queen of Scots (Paperback) $19.38 Carolly Erickson takes the scandalous and tragic life of Mary Queen of Scots as the basis for her historical novel. Narrated by Mary herself, the novel follow her three marriages–first to the sickly Dauphin of France, then to her cousin Lord Darnley who died in a suspicious explosion, and finally to the Earl of Bothwell–and her long feud with her cousin Queen Elizabeth I, that led to her imprisonment and eventual beheading. For some, particularly Catholics, Mary is a martyr, to others a conniving villain, but Erickson`s novel presents her in a benevolent light as a courageous and loving woman surrounded by treachery and danger ever since she was made Queen of Scotland while only six days old. |

Betrayed by those she most trusted, she would be lured into a deadly game of power, only to lose to her envious and unforgiving cousin, Elizabeth I. Here is her story, a queen who lost a throne for love, a monarch pampered and adored even as she was led to her beheading, the unforgettable woman who became a legend for all time. |
