title: The Virgin Queen
author: Peters, Maureen
description: This is an historical romance in the old-fashioned, storytelling style.  Our heroine, Elizabeth I, was a woman of great charm and energy.  Born of the union of King Henry VIII and Anne Boleyn, she inherited the power and passion of her parents, and went on to become a great ruler.  For more than fifty years she reigned over the British Empire, but the one thing she craved most of all eluded her...the true love of a man she could cherish and respect.
