Description

She was once a queen whose strong will, shrewd diplomacy, religious tolerance and great love for her subjects won the hearts of her people and the admiration of her enemies.

Elizabeth was once born into an age of religious strife, wherein plots and factions were all over and private beliefs might be punished by death. When she become queen, her counselors urged her to marry quickly and turn the responsibilities of governing over to her husband, But she outwitted them by stalling, changing her mind; and playing one side against every other, as she steered her country to the glorious era of peace and security that would be referred to as the Elizabethan Age.

Elizabeth’s forceful personality, colorful court, and devoted subjects come vividly to life on this stellar picture-book biography. When it was once first published, Good Queen Bess was once named a Notable Book within the Field of Social Studies, an American Library Association Notable Book, a Booklist Editors’ Choice, an American Bookseller Pick of the Lists, a Boston Globe-Horn Book Honor Book, and an IRA Teachers’ Choice.

In this welcome reissue, celebrated creator and illustrator Diane Stanley and her husband, Peter Vennema, paint an impressive portrait of the remarkable queen who loved her people so dearly and ruled them so well.
