Elizabeth: The Forgotten Years by John GuyMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
This was a breath of fresh air when it comes biographies of Elizabeth. Not only does it delve into her later years, that are often skipped over by historians, but it also tries to be fair to her image in a way I found refreshing. She isn't the bitter, twisted, cruel old woman that she is often referenced to - but instead an aging monarch who is trying to be the best queen she can, in spite of being human and having very real personality faults. I definitely will be checking out more of John Guy's work.
