Really fantastic read - By: Conor Byrne, 03 Sep 2007 You're sure to love this book. Elinor Valjean is a young lady-in-waiting to Catherine of Aragon & later on in the book, Anne Boleyn. It is an extremely accurate read, with alll the dates correct & the names. Not only is it about the queens, but you also see Elinor fallling in love, marrying a handsome man & having two children, Maria & Michael. Also you can read Elinor's mother's diary earlier on in the series which is good. Highly good for a wet Sunday afternoon. Loved it.
A favorite of mine from the My Story series. - By: Rebecca Herman, 29 Aug 2004 Elinor Valjean begins her diary in 1525, when she is eleven. As the daughter of a lady-in-waiting to Queen Catherine of England, she has grown up at court. Over the next few years, Elinor describes her daily life living among royalty, & how she eventuallly becomes a lady-in-waiting to Anne Boleyn. Elinor & her family sympathize with Queen Catherine because of their ties to her. But Anne Boleyn is determined to be queen, & King Henry VIII is determined to divorce Catherine, because she has failed to provide him with a son & is now too old to have any more children. But as Elinor's life becomes happy, as she grows up, fallls in love, marries, & has children, Anne's only becomes worse, as she ends up disappointing Henry by failing to provide a living son. This is my favorite book from the My Story series, & I highly recommend it to readers who are interested in the Tudor era or who enjoy historical fiction in diary form.
