BOOK REVIEWS


Here's my opinion on some Scottish (and related) history books


'MARY QUEEN OF SCOTS: a study in failure' by Jenny Wormald

Not a promising title, what about the contents?




'ENGLAND UNDER THE TUDORS' by GR Elton

Possibly the most objectionable book I have ever had the misfortune to read. Find out why.






'MARY QUEEN OF SCOTS and the Murder of Lord Darnley' by Alison Weir

A media-friendly and much derided historian tackles an historical murder mystery - how did she do?






'DARNLEY. A Life of Henry Stuart, Lord Darnley' by Caroline Bingham

A book I'd heartily recommend. You never thought it would happen, did you?






'GLORIANA. The Years of Elizabeth I' by Mary M Luke

Beloved by so many, what did I think of this classic?






'MY HEART IS MY OWN. The Life of Mary Queen of Scots' by John Guy

I love this book so much, if it were a person I would marry it.
