Everybody knows Mary Queen of Scots had terrible taste in husbands and was kept prisoner by her cousin, Elizabeth the First.

Everything you ever wanted to know about the queen with the cruel Cousin.

Dated: 5th of May, 2011
I didn't really enjoy this book, found it kind of gross. But I think that is the point, after all they are called "horribly famous". In saying that I wouldn't be willing to let my young children read this, maybe suitable for a pre-teen.
The story has a lot of gore, rotting and even beheading although it has some interesting facts about Mary, Queen of Scotland. This book also has cartoons and written letters inside which i think makes it more appealing to the younger readers.
I do think this book is a clever way of teaching children about history as they are learning about things that really happened and how tough times were. Making them appreciate the world we live in today.

Sssh ... NOT for parents! You can keep a SECRET, right?
Clara and I have a herd of tiny, talking, glitter-twinkly, flying horses - and they're REAL! It's true.
Those naughty Miniwings get us into so much TROUBLE! Who would have thought Book Week could end up such a magical MESS!
