A biography of Lady Jane Grey, Queen of England for 2 weeks
Series Name
Description
Another in the series of Simonetta Carr's well written, illustrated, and produced series of biographies for ages ~7 - adult.
"Living only until her execution at age 17 and ruling England for less than two weeks, Lady Jane Grey is still remembered for her intelligence and steadfast defense of the gospel. Declared by the dying (Protestant) King Edward as his successor to the throne - instead of his half-sister Mary, as his father's will decreed - his quick decision caused confusion for Jane's succession, which was quickly overcome by Mary's gathering forces and Naval support.
This fascinating children's biography features full-page original illustrations, photographs of places she lived, and easy-to-understand text that conveys the gospel-values that Lady Jane held dear. The biography is based on documented facts and avoids the unsubstantiated myths that have woven themselves around Jane (such as the story of the cruel parents). Finalist at the 2013 San Diego Awards Association."
