An engaging and informative 'window in time' that brings this peace of history to life

Educators Nancy Lotz and Carlene Philips has collaborated to present the life story of Mary Stuart, the daughter of Henry the Eighth. Mary became the Queen of Scotland only a few days after she was born and lived in her native land for a total of six years. But that was long enough for her life and tragedy to impact the course of British history with her struggle to supplant her sister, Elizabeth Tudor, from the throne of England that ultimately ended with her death at the headsman's axe. This political contest was also a struggle between the entrenched forces of Catholicism and the newly emerged powers of Protestantism. "Mary Queen Of Scotts" offers young readers an engaging and informative 'window in time' that brings this peace of history to life. Also very highly recommended for both school and community library biography and history collections for young readers from Morgan Reynolds are Kerrily Sapet's "Cleopatra: Ruler Of Egypt" (9781599350356, $27.95); Sandra H. Schichtman and Dorothy Indenbaum's "Gifted sister: The Story Of Fanny Mendelssohn" (978-1-59935-038-7, $27.95); and Julie Baker's "The Bread And Roses Strike Of 1912" (9781599350448, $27.95); John Duggleby's "Revolution: The Story Of John Lennon" (9781599350349, $27.95); and William Schoell's "Giuseppe Verdi And Italian Opera" (9781599350417, $27.95)
