A review by magnetarmadda
Elizabeth I: Red Rose of the House of Tudor, England, 1544 by Kathryn Lasky

5.0

I love love LOVE this book. It was my favorite of the Royal Diaries/Dear America books when I was a kid, and I’m so glad I started with this one as I reread these. This book started my lifelong obsession with Elizabeth I, the Tudors, and medieval history in general. Having now read many, many books about those topics, it was great to see this held up pretty well under historical scrutiny and, because the intended audience is children, what’s left out is absolutely understandable
