Children's & Educational; Educational: History

When Elizabeth became queen, her counselors urged her to marry quickly and turn the responsibilities of governing over to her husband. But she outwitted them by stalling, changing her mind, and playing one side against another, as she steered her country to the glorious era of peace and security that would be called the Elizabethan Age. Her forceful personality, colorful court, and devoted subjects come vividly to life in this stellar picture-book biography. When it was first published, Good Queen Bess won many honors for its thoroughly researched narrative and superb illustrations. In this welcomed reissue, a celebrated author paints an impressive portrait of the remarkable queen who loved her people most dearly and ruled them so well.
