She was the quintessential queen: statuesque, regal, dazzlingly beautiful. Her royal birth gave her claim to the thrones of two nations; her marriage to the young French dauphin promised to place a third glorious crown on her noble head. Instead, Mary Stuart became the victim of her own impulsive heart, scandalizing her world with a foolish passion that would lead to abduction, rape, and even murder. Betrayed by those she most trusted, she would be lured into a deadly game of power, only to lose to her envious and unforgiving cousin, Elizabeth I.

Here is her story, a queen who lost a throne for love, a monarch pampered and adored even as she was led to her beheading, the unforgettable woman who became a legend for all time.

History told by a master, who leaves no doubt as to how she feels about those who treated this refined and generous woman so badly. Fraser shows how Mary was tragically buffeted about in the religious disputes of her era, and by her own sheer determination to remain true to her faith and her hereditary responsibility. Narrator had some odd tics (her French and Latin were especially weird) but when she clipped along, did a great job interpreting the meaning and importance of each segment.

Thorough and heartbreaking.

This title is a very detailed account of just a small sliver of European History. You feel transported into the life and times of Mary Queen of Scots. I highly recommend this title!

Great Historical Biography

The narrator’s pronunciation drove me crazy. Her launch into French phrases without a translation…please God, Medici is not that hard a pronunciation. This is one I might have enjoyed more reading myself.

Fairly accessible but academic read

I was a French major in college and Mary Queen of Scots always interested me. I was so happy to learn much more about her in depth. This book was amazing and I am personally offended by her execution because I feel like I know her so well now. I love the show Reign and it was cool to see that it actually was a little bit accurate while I knew a lot of that show wasn't. I guess a Mary Queen of Scots movie is coming out in december and I am happy I read this before it comes out. I can't wait to see how it is. The narration was great by the way.

Wow!

it is a good biography and covers a lot of details of her life. But as the book progressed into her adult years, I thought maybe it should have been titled, "In Defense of Queen Mary..." It seemed that, per the author, nothing was ever the Queen's fault--she always had the right motives but was tripped up by some other person (and most of the time that QE and/or some other England person).
My other criticism was of the narrator, not the best..However, if you want a detailed history of Queen Mary, still good book!

Good, complete bio but not perfect

I have read many books on English royalty including every book Alison Weir has written so I have previously heard most of the material in this book, but I must say that the author tells Mary's story in a unique style that kept me very interested. Also the narration really wasn't that bad. It was read in a nice pleasant tone. I recommend this book to anyone interested in a detailed telling of Mary Stuart's life and legacy.

Poor Mary

I’ve just finished “reading” (on audible) Mary Queen of Scots by Antonia Fraser. Really good book. Entertaining and interesting, not at all tedious, dry or boring. Really helps the reader to understand where Mary was coming from and her frame of mind throughout the various periods and traumatic experiences in her life. I have a greater appreciation for her, what she went through and how she composed herself. She left quite a legacy! Thumbs up! 👍🏻

Entertaining Historical Novel

If you like history, well told, this is a book for you! I read Antonia Fraser‘s first book when I was 17. Many many years ago. I’m glad they put this wonderful book on audible!

Fascinating!

Loved it! I Didn’t want it to end. It became part of my morning routine. Highly recommend.

A very detailed account of Mary Queen of Scots with a heartfelt yet historical prowess.

There isn't anything about this book that particularly stood out among its many fellows, but it was another good one. The narration was good, nothing to really note except that there was something about the narrator speaking French that kind of grated on me. There are many French lines, or quotes (not too long) that frustratingly have no translation after they are read so I am not sure what it even meant.

I would overall say it was just good. Not remarkable. I have read a few books about the Queen of Scots and this didn't reveal any information I hadn't already learned, but I am glad to have listened to it and have it in my library.

Good History, Good Narration, Good
