Product Description
From School Library Journal
Grade 8 Up - Royalty holds an eternal fascination for many, and queens can be positive role models of powerful women. Unfortunately, these biographies are utterly uninspiring. Wordy, repetitious, and badly written, they are full of errors, omissions, and inconsistencies. Numerous problems with footnoting (citations attributed to the wrong page, wrong title, wrong individual, and wrong occasion, as well as being incorrectly quoted) don't create any confidence in Whitelaw's research techniques. The few maps are small, old-fashioned, and difficult to decipher, and both titles would benefit greatly from genealogical charts. Isabella plunges straight into the reign of her half-brother with no background material, and lacks her birth date and anything about her childhood before age 13. Victoria is unbalanced, with far more information on the British Empire than the queen's life and family. - Ann W. Moore, Schenectady County Public Library, NY

Simplistic and superficial even for school use., Jun 21 2007
By Alberto L. Mederos - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Queen Isabella and the Unification of Spain (Library Binding)
Quick read, may wet appetite for an in depth biography of Queen Iabella (Isabel la Catolica in Spanich).ONE GROSS ERROR on Chapter 9 The Question of Succession.
Isabella's daughter known as Catherine of Artagon had a surviving daughter with Henry VIII: Mary Tudor!
