I love a good book exploring the lives of royals and their exploits!

Some suggestions:

Fatal Throne: The Wives of Henry VIII Tell All - Candace Fleming and various YA Authors (England)
Nefertiti by Michelle Moran (Egypt)
The Iliad by Homer (Ancient Greece)
Queen's Own Fool by Jane Yolen (Scotland)

Willow | 13 comments I read The Lady of the Rivers by Philippa Gregory. This was my first experience with the author and she is a fun writer!
