BR2-04 Mary Queen of Scots

" Dear James. Very soon I am going to die, and meet my God." (p.4)
     

     Hello! I'm going to tell you about "Mary queen of Scots". First, I will say this story of this book.
     Scotland in 1561 was a wild country. When the young queen of Scots returned from France, at first her people were pleased to see to her. Her husband, the King of France, was dead, and now she wanted a new husband. But Mary, Queen of Scots, was a Catholic Queen, and most of Scotland was now Protestant. There was also a Protestant Queen in England. And in those tomes, men were happy to fight and die for their church.It is 1587, and Mary sits, a tired unhappy woman, in Fotheringhay Castle in England. She is a prisoner of Queen Elizabeth, and soon she will be dead. She takes a pen and begins to write a letter to her son, James now King of Scotland. It is the story of her life...
     This story is written by a letter which Mary wrote for her son, James and a diary which his nurse wrote. We can understand the historical situation in Europe by reading this book. And I was moved at her power as a woman.
