The Mark of the Scots : Their Astonishing Contributions to History, Science, Democracy, Literature, and the Arts by Duncan A. Bruce

Here is the first-ever celebration of all things--and all people--of Scottish descent.

Royalty

Mary Queen of Scotland and the Isles by Margaret George

Mary was but 25 years old when she left Scotland for the imagined sanctuary of her cousin Elizabeth I's England, there to remain captive until she was beheaded in 1587. George's new novel illuminates the passions of a woman whose birth generated glorious dreams, hideous treachery, and murder.

 

Mary Queen of Scotland and the Isles : A Novel by Margaret George

The great tradition of the biographical novel lives on in the masterful new work by the author of the bestselling Autobiography of Henry VIII. Mary became Queen of Scots only six days after her birth in 1542. At 16 she was Queen of France. By her 18th birthday, Mary had been married, widowed, had lost one throne and been named by the Pope for another. Now Margaret George brings a magnetic, ardent Mary to life in this rich blend of history and storytelling.
