Eleanor: Crown Jewel of Aquitaine

190 pp. | Scholastic | November, 2002 | Trade ISBN 0-439-16484-2 $$10.95
(4) 4-6 Royal Diaries series. This fictional diary recounts the year and a half leading up to Eleanor's marriage to Louis, Prince of France. While the details of twelfth-century court life are vivid (as when Eleanor rules that children must use chamber pots for fear they will fall into the "privy"), it is hard to believe that the kind, earnest teenager will turn into the fiery Eleanor of Aquitaine that history remembers. A glossary of characters and historical note are appended.
Reviewer: Jeannine M. Chapman
