Lost interest around the fourth chapter. Is there a story here?
Although I have read all four books I have chosen to review Elizabeth I, Red Rose of the House of Tudor, because of my interest in English history. This is the fictional diary of Princess Elizabeth, later Elizabeth I of England and daughter of King Henry VIII. Since this is in diary form your really hear the voice of a young girl who spends a great deal of her life traveling from castle to castle year after year depending on her father's whim. You also gain insight into her relationships with her sister Princess Mary(lots of sibling rivalry), her brother Prince Edward, who she adored and later became Edward VI, as well as her beloved governess Kat. The reader learns about what life was really like in these castles and how much Elizabeth loved her studies. Although this is a work of fiction it is historically accurate and includes a section at the end of the book on life in the Tudor court and a family tree of the Tudors. This is not an award winning book but was written by Newberry Award winning author Kathryn Lasky. I really enjoyed this book as well as the others. It is a great introduction to this timeperiod in English history for 4-8 grades. It is also a great read for young girls because it tells what life was really like for a real princess not a Disney princess. There are many books in the Royal Princess Diaries series some examples are Marie Antoinette, Isabel of Castilla, Cleopatra, and even Weetamoo, the daughter of Corbitant chief of the Pocassets during Pilgrim times.
