4.0 out of 5 stars Wonderful old-style Elizabethan love story., August 8, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Queen's Folly (Hardcover)

Memorable story of a young man who meets and is forever bonded to Queen Elizabeth I. As thanks for a service provided she gives him an estate - Queen's Folly. The story follows the estate and the family through multiple generations, all effected by his passion for his queen. If you enjoy historical novels and especially those written without a modern crudity and need for explicit accuracy you will enjoy this book. I love it and I have hunted down and now own all of Ms. Thane's work.

This review is from: Queen's Folly (Hardcover)

I enjoyed the beignning, but after that it went downhill, in part because I couldn't understand his descendant's all-consuming love of the house. The third part of the book, set in the early 20th century, was the worst as the owner said little and did less. I liked Elswyth Thane's Williamsburg series but wouldn't recommend this book.
