Book description
For most, the name of Lady Jane Grey means the 'nine days queen',
the child who was used as a pawn in the power politics of the Tudor
realm by both her parents, the Suffolks, and Northumberlands. Alison
Plowden's book tells the tragic story of Jane's life, and death, but
also reveals her to be a woman of unusual strength of conviction, with
an intelligence and steady faith beyond her years. Told with Alison's
usual skill and adeptness, this is a story which will stir compassion
in the hearts of the hardiest readers. It also gives us insight into
the least known of Henry VIII's wives, Katherine Parr.
