I know the author of "Lady Jane Grey", Alison Plowden, wrote a book about Queen Victoria; "The Young Victoria" I think it's called. I'll have to see of I can hunt it up. As I said in my post, I've been seriously impressed by Plowden's skill as a writer, her prose is a pleasure to read.The Editrixhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01184804847476554759noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7640277016633958889.post-89676441320955353862008-09-24T04:30:00.000+10:002008-09-24T04:30:00.000+10:00This book sounds very interesting!Regarding your o...This book sounds very interesting!<BR/><BR/>Regarding your other questions:<BR/>(1) I am not much of a biography reader, but I got touched by "Still me" by Christopher Reeve. But the book "Die Koenigin" (The Queen) about Elizabeth I by Susan Kay is also wonderful, seems, its not available in English. :( A wonderful book.<BR/>(2) I liked reading about Queen Elizabeth I and Queen Victoria. Both were very interesting women.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
