Críticas:

"Porter's highly readable account offers a fresh perspective for readers who look forward to each new book on the Tudors" - "Booklist"

"A wonderfully thorough history of the Scots that thankfully avoids dwelling on stories that have been explored countless times before - especially fitting now as Scotland decides whether to withdraw from the union with England" - "Kirkus""Porter avoids rehashing familiar tales about Elizabeth and Mary. Instead, she sets the rivalry between the two cousins in its familial context, with the focus on the earlier Stewarts, who have been overshadowed through the centuries by the more flamboyant Tudors...Porter's work relates the oft-neglected Scottish perspective and is recommended for anyone interested in Tudor England." - "Publishers Weekly""" ""

Reseña del editor:

Evaluates the rivalry between the fertile Stewarts and barren Tudors as critical to the British Isles of the 16th-century, tracing three generations of feuding that led to the violent competition for the throne between Elizabeth I and Mary Queen of Scots. By the award-winning author of Katherine the Queen. 20,000 first printing.
