Rejecting the sad facts of Jane Grey's nine-day reign in sixteenth-century England, the authors of this novel imagine an irreverent alternative history that substitutes love for politics and people with the ability to change into animal form for religious controversies. Jane's marriage to her cousin begins poorly, and murderous plots in her court abound, but Jane cheerfully triumphs in this romp.
