    About this audiobook

    England and Scotland in the 1500s. Two famous queens - Mary, the Catholic Queen of Scots, and Elizabeth I, the Protestant Queen of England. It was an exciting and a dangerous time to be alive, and to be a queen. Mary was Queen of Scotland when she was one week old. At sixteen, she was also Queen of France. She was tall and beautiful, with red-gold hair. Many men loved her and died for her. But she also had many enemies - men who said: 'The death of Mary is the life of Elizabeth.'

      This was obviously written for children, but should have been presented as such, and that’s why it has such a poor rating from an adult reader such as myself. For a children’s book it serves its purpose well. It’s a slower spoken English for the audiobook version that is well suited for teaching English as a foreign language - I would recommend it for this purpose.

      Unless this is a children’s book I have no explanation for such juvenile writing! It stunk! What a waste of an hour!

      The book presents a superficial vision of the life of Queen Mary. It’s always good to know a bit more about this woman but the audiobook doesn’t add that much compared with what you find on Wikipedia.

      This is the story about Mary,Queen of Scots. This book is written along the letter that She wrote to her son James what really had happened to her.Scotland is a Protestant country,but she is a Catholic. So she has many enemies.I learned Mary and Elizabeth Ⅰ in world history class in high school. But It's a little different from what I imagined. This book is interesting for me.
