Coverage begins with Matilda, daughter of the count (not "earl") of Flanders, wife of William of Normandy, and continues to Elizabeth II, who celebrated her Silver Jubilee in 1977. Because all the forty-five subjects get nearly equal time, this volume is most useful for the lesser-known, such as Adeliza of Normandy (Henry I's second wife), Anne of Bohemia (queen of Richard II), Catherine of Braganza (Charles II), and Adelaide of Saxe-Meiningen (William IV).

Queens of England,
By A Customer
This review is from: Queens of England (Hardcover)
Queens of England is a biography of each Queen of England since Before Christ. Each biography is about 2 or 3 pages long, and is the best piece of condensed reference I have ever seen. It is also interesting reading with pictures of the Queens (their statues). I purchased my copy at a second hand bookstore and keep it for reference. Another good reference is "Anne Bolyen". I can't believe this is out of print.

A must for every Library,
This review is from: Queens of England (Hardcover)
This book has beautiful pictures of the queens of England followed by beautiful factual discriptions of the women and their lives. It doesn't go much into gossip, it simply highlights the facts. This would be a great reference book for the library of an adult down to the library of an young adult in their early teens.

This review is from: Queens of England (Hardcover)
I was 9 when I first found this book in the library and fell in love with it. Norah Lofts took history and biography and told the stories of England's queens with humor, wit and charm. I spent hours with this book and never forgot it. If you can find a used copy don't hesitate to buy it.
