5.0 out of 5 starsGreat History for Young Readers
By Saundra Mitchell on July 5, 2009
Format: Paperback
I really love this series of book, and especially this overview of Mary Tudor. Because, of course, history is written by the victors, Elizabeth I frequently gets the Heroine Treatment- which leaves Mary to be the wicked older sister. This book is wonderfully balanced, and presents events from Mary's point of view, which I found quite refreshing. And though the series is appropriate for children, it doesn't change or hide history when it's ugly. It explains it- and very well.

5.0 out of 5 starsGreat for kids, and everyone else too
By J'aime TOP 1000 REVIEWERVINE VOICE on July 27, 2010
Format: Paperback Verified Purchase
Scholastic's "Wicked History" series is a wonderful idea that actually works in execution. The books are small, short paperbacks intended for middle school aged children, but that can be enjoyed by anyone with an interest in history. Each book takes an historical figure, usually infamous or nefarious, and gives a brief history. The work is enriched with the use of maps, a "web" of actors (genealogy and key figures in that person's life) and historical pictures or drawings. The font size is also larger than standard, for younger readers.

Here, we get a glimpse into the life of Mary Tudor, nicknamed "Bloody Mary" for the nearly 300 protestants she had burned during her short reign as queen. In fact, the book opens with one such burning, a dramatic way to draw a reader in. However, there was more to her than that and this book tries to give a more balanced look at a much maligned figure. How she went from cherished, pampered daughter to exiled bastard.

These are not intended for history buffs/people highly familiar with the subject. They are more like an expanded, enriched encyclopedia entry. Great for hooking a child's interest, and then literally offering sources at the end of where to go for more information. I was especially impressed that they do not only list scholarly books, but also websites. Overall, a great idea and I intend to continue with the series. Many of the figures I know absolutely nothing about, and a little bit more history would be welcome.

1.0 out of 5 starsHorrible. Atrocious. An Utter Waste.
By Lexi Grimbrooke on June 27, 2015
Format: Paperback Verified Purchase
This book was absolutely atrocious. There were over 100 errors in what the author called facts. Although, that isn't surprising when you take into account two of the books she used as sources: Bloody Mary by Carolly Erickson, which is a work of fiction and A World Lit Only by Fire by William Manchester, a book that is, in one lump summation, an utter farce. Also, all of the pictures, except the picture of Henry and the picture of Edward, were manipulated in some way, shape or form to where they look utterly different from the actual, original portrait. In short, this book is a waste of money, a waste of time, and a complete waste of ink, paper, images and every other thing that goes into creating & publishing a book. I would give it a negative rating if I could.

***Side Note: I like Carolly Erickson, but her books are fiction and should not be used as a source for a supposedly factual book.
