Lady Jane Grey, eldest daughter of the Duke and Duchess of Suffolk and great-niece of Henry VIII, was born in 1537 and executed at the age of sixteen and a half by order of Mary Tudor ... 'Hester Chapman's book is utterly magnificent, and I was enthralled by it. She combines an unassailably scholarly mind with the talent of a novelist, so that the characters leap into startling life. The result is far more fascinating than any conventional picture ... Everything is documented, everything is sound, and written in a beautiful, spirited and witty prose.' CHARITY BLACKSTOCK, BOOKS & BOOKMEN 'Excellent... rich in quotations from original sources' THE ECONOMIST 'Fascinating ... full of marvellous historical-domestic details' THE TATLER 'Dramatic ... objective . .. will become the standard work on its subject' THE SUNDAY TIMES
