So well told, descriptive and engaging, I could envision Queen Boudicca throughout the story.  I've never been a history buff, but when I read a historical tale, such as this, it causes me to delve in deeper.  Mr. Baker told the story in such a detailed way that I could "see" the story unfold as I turned the pages.Being a less than enthusiast student in history, I know only the "great" names and cannot recall Boudicca.  For me, that made it all the more interesting to read this story because I had no preconceived notions.  I was learning something interesting and exciting for the first time.Unfortunately, as is the case in history, people fought for money, power and all-out greed. But, Queen Boudicca valued much more than that.  Freedom. Unfortunately, her decisions killed all of her people in battle.  Sadly, her fate was no better.  Sometimes, stories from this time period break my heart because there were so few options available.  She did what she felt was best and in the end she paid the price, as many do when they fight for something they believe in.I may not have a passion for history, but I am very passionate about reading interesting stories that are well-told, or in this case, well-written.  Mr. Baker has done a wonderful job in sharing Queen Boudicca's story. So much so, that it has whet my appetite to learn more about this time period and its history.Well written!
