-- Antonia Fraser, The Times
This book makes a fresh study of the six princesses of the House of Stuart who lived through the violent social and political upheavals of the 17th century. One is the direct ancestress of the present British royal family, one was the mother of a king of England, and one died in prison at the age of fourteen. Another became Madame de France and two were English queens regent.
