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.
