Mary, Queen of Scots: Queen without a Country

(4) 4-6 Royal Diaries series. In this fictionalized diary of eleven-year-old Mary, Queen of Scots, the young queen writes of living abroad with the family of her betrothed, the French dauphin; of conflicts with her future in-laws; and of more mundane preteen concerns. An abundance of exposition, while somewhat intrusive, provides the necessary background information. Portraits, a family tree, and a brief historical note provide additional context.
