‘The Sisters Who Would Be Queen’ recommended by the Saturday Times

Posted on 30th November 2009 by Tamise

Leanda de Lisle’s ‘The Sisters Who Would Be Queen: The Tragedy of Mary, Katherine and Lady Jane Grey’ is recommended for Christmas by Dan Jones in the Saturday Times.

The Times Christmas books: history – From the earliest Christians via Viking derring-do to a history of MI5, Dan Jones discovers that the past makes good presents

‘Finally, I recommend three books that are linked by nothing more than their mutual brilliance. The Sisters Who Would Be Queen by Leanda de Lisle (Harper Press, £20; Buy the book) proves that the history of Tudor women need not be fictionalised, romanticised or dumbed-down to be absorbing and brilliant.’
