Commentary Toward Books The Royal Diaries : Elizabeth I, Isabel Jewel of Castilla, Cleopatra VII, Marie Antoinette - Boxed set of 4 (The Royal Diaries)
Although I have read all four books I have chosen to review Elizabeth I, Red Rose of the House of Tudor, because of my interest in English history.This is the fictional diary of Princess Elizabeth, later Elizabeth I of England and daughter of King Henry VIII. Since this is in diary form your really hear the voice of a young girl who spends a great deal of her life traveling from castle to castle year after year depending on her father's whim. You also gain insight into her relationships with her sister Princess Mary(lots of sibling rivalry), her brother Prince Edward, who she adored and later became Edward VI, as well as her beloved governess Kat.
The reader learns about what life was really like in these castles and how much Elizabeth loved her studies. Although this is a work of fiction it is historically accurate and includes a section at the end of the book on life in the Tudor court and a family tree of the Tudors.
This is not an award winning book but was written by Newberry Award winning author Kathryn Lasky. I really enjoyed this book as well as the others. It is a great introduction to this timeperiod in English history for 4-8 grades. It is also a great read for young girls because it tells what life was really like for a real princess not a Disney princess.
There are many books in the Royal Princess Diaries series some examples are Marie Antoinette, Isabel of Castilla, Cleopatra, and even Weetamoo, the daughter of Corbitant chief of the Pocassets during Pilgrim times.

great!!!Read!!
i actually enjoyed it more then i thought i would, it's a great book on the famous royals and life in their perspective. Sometimes it was very boring, and found the characters complaining a lot, and well juvenile. But i think lovers of the lie of royals and classics could really enjoy it, I'm a lover of history and enjoyed it well

I really enjoyed this quick read. What a fun idea for historical fiction. I think I would have enjoyed it more if I had read this as a young girl but I enjoyed learning about how life in England in the 1500s might have been like.
Interesting historical fiction books about famous female leaders, written as thought they were diaries from their teenage years. Content kept appropriate for older elementary age readers. We enjoyed the stories about Elizabeth I, Isabel, and Cleopatra.
a great historical description of the time and people
