Elizabeth and the Prince of Spain (Elizabeth I Trilogy)
Irwin took the same tack with these volumes as Shakespeare did centuries before her: namely, using real events in her country's history as the basis for her fiction. Both titles, published in 1953 and 1948, respectively, follow young Elizabeth; her half-sister Queen Mary; Mary's fianc?, Philip of Spain; and a cast of courtly players, most of whom are Royal pains.Copyright 2000 Reed Business Information, Inc.--This text refers to an alternatePaperbackedition.
