The Queen’s Fool is a very good history lesson… written in an enjoyable manner that is easy to read…I heartily recommend this book. |
|
|
The Queen's Fool is even more enjoyable, with some agreeable similarities, to its predecessor... absolutely delightful - historical romance at its vivid, moreish best. |

[Philippa Gregory] is a mesmerizing storyteller. |
|
|
Philippa Gregory has embroidered a rich tapestry of swaggering courtiers frantically plotting to survive the chaos left by Henry VIII…an atmospheric read for anyone who loves to wallow in Tudor intrigue. |
|
|
This is an incredible, behind-the-scenes tale of one of England’s most treacherous eras. Ms. Gregory takes readers on an amazing journey of hope, promise, stark fear, and pageantry... Readers who enjoy a well-researched, heart-stopping historical novel with a very memorable heroine will thoroughly applaud The Queen’s Fool. |

It took word of mouth for Philippa Gregory's first Tudor novel, "The Other Boleyn Girl," to catch on, but it did... This time, readers aren't waiting to snatch up "The Queen's Fool," which tells the story of a 14-year-old Jewish girl who witnesses firsthand the rivalry between sisters Mary and Elizabeth for the English throne. With 250,000 copies in print, it's obvious this British historical author has found an American audience. |
|
|
Gregory's last novel, 'The Other Boleyn Girl'…was a great success, and she isn't taking any chances with her follow-up. Moving forward a generation, she takes on the next pair of competitive Tudor sisters: Mary I, remembered for her dour nature and fondness for bonfires, and her more glamorous sibling, Anne Boleyn's daughter Elizabeth…Let's hope she can find an equally enthralling subject for her next book. |
