Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this dramatic, compelling fictional memoir Carolly Erickson lets the courageous, spirited Mary Queen of Scots tell her own story—and the result is a novel readers will long remember. Born Queen of Scotland, married as a young girl to the invalid young King of France, Mary took the reins of the unruly kingdom of Scotland as a young widow and fought to keep her throne. A second marriage to her handsome but dissolute cousin Lord Darnley ended in murder and scandal, while a third marriage to the dashing, commanding Lord Bothwell, the love of her life, gave her joy but widened the scandal and surrounded her with enduring ill repute. Unable to rise above the violence and disorder that swirled around her, Mary plucked up her courage and escaped to England—only to find herself a prisoner of her ruthless, merciless cousin Queen Elizabeth. Here, in her own riveting account, is the enchanting woman whose name still evokes excitement and compassion—and whose death under the headsman's axe still draws forth our sorrow. In The Memoirs of Mary Queen of Scots, Carolly Erickson provides another in her series of mesmerizing historical entertainments, and takes readers deep into the life and heart of the sixteenth century's most fascinating woman.

Book excerpt: This Whitbread Award–winning biography and basis for the film Mary Queen of Scots starring Saoirse Ronan and Margot Robbie “reads like Shakespearean drama” (The Atlanta Journal-Constitution). “A triumph . . . A masterpiece full of fire and tragedy.” —Amanda Foreman, author of Georgiana In the first full-scale biography of Mary Stuart in more than thirty years, John Guy creates an intimate and absorbing portrait of one of history’s greatest women, depicting her world and her place in the sweep of history with stunning immediacy. Bringing together all surviving documents and uncovering a trove of new sources for the first time, Guy dispels the popular image of Mary Queen of Scots as a romantic leading lady—achieving her ends through feminine wiles—and establishes her as the intellectual and political equal of Elizabeth I. Through Guy’s pioneering research and superbly readable prose, we come to see Mary as a skillful diplomat, maneuvering ingeniously among a dizzying array of factions that sought to control or dethrone her. Queen of Scots is an enthralling, myth-shattering look at a complex woman and ruler and her time. “The definitive biography . . . Gripping . . . A pure pleasure to read.” —The Washington Post Book World “Reads like Shakespearean drama, with all the delicious plotting and fresh writing to go with it.” —The Atlanta Journal-Constitution

This book was released on 2017-10-12 with total page 336 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Memoirs of the Life of Mary Queen of Scots, Vol. 1 of 2 Nor was Scotland without her patriots and heroes, whose character, as it must have been formed, should be measured, by the existing standard of civilization. Even then she had champions who gloried in contemning the power, and in re senting the insults of their Southron foes high-spirited chiefs, who placed honour and integrity in preserving unaltered the institutions of their forefathers, and who consequently resisted, with pernicious zeal, every deviation that threatened innova tion or promised improvement. Buchanan has boasted of their good faith and religious fidelity; but their loyalty should seem to have been of a peculiar character. To conspire against the sovereign's life, appears to have been considered as a venial trespass; to have invaded the royal order of succession, was (if the expression can be used) an unimaginable treason. Even in seasons of anarchy or rebellion, nothing like revolution was achieved or attempted. Duringthe long captivity of James the First in England, no usurper ascended the vacant throne.
