Mary Tudor: Courageous Queen or Bloody Mary? by Jane Buchanan

4.0

I continue to be impressed with the Wicked History series. These slim volumes are packed with history embedded within the lives of murderous figures. Timelines, artwork, maps, and glossaries help to break up chapters. Here, the life of Mary "quite contrary" is told and her devotion to god, the poor and sick is juxtaposed with her desire to have every Protestant burned to death. Her father, King Henry, set quite an example for her!
