Book Description:

I have been living with this constant fear of exile now for two days. So far I have heard nothing. Plans seem to proceed as normal for our move to Ashridge. This palace, too, is becoming quite filthy, what with all the banqueting and people and gaming between Michaelmas Feast and the feast of All Saints' Day. The roses bloom in our garden with such vigor, but the stench from the courtyard over the wall outside the kitchens is unbearable.

Kat is mumbling something about baths again. The woman is becoming a fanatic. I think we have had half a dozen baths since summer....

This is the first volume in the series for young readers entitled "The Royal Diaries." It tells the story of Elizabeth I as a young girl, who was banished from the court of her father, Henry VIII, after her mother, Anne Boleyn was beheaded after being falsely accused of adultery. The diary covers the years 1544 (when Elizabeth was just 11), through the death of her father in 1547. It has charming details of the life of the lonely princess and her companions.

I just spent a wonderful afternoon with the diversion of this book. It is a sweet story, and my 14 yo daughter is looking forward to reading it as well.
