Erickson's latest historical entertainment (her words) covers the life of Mary Queen of Scots from the time she was married to Francis and became Queen Consort of France, her return to Scotland as Queen after she is widowed, her marriage to the despicable Darnley and his murder, her subsequent marriage to Bothwell and her eventual imprisonment by Elizabeth I. It's al. When writing historical fiction, Carolly Erickson does a very credible job. I've read a lot about both Elizabeth and Mary and despite some glaring inaccuracies, I would recommend this book.

She arrived one day, brought to Wingfield Manor by two messengers wearing the Norfolk livery of green and silver at, rubbing her nose, admiring the way her tail was braided, remarking over her hooves, which were striped black and white. She was small, a woman’s riding horse rather than a man’s, and she seemed to favor me as I approached her and held out my hand. She nuzzled me and made soft snuffling sounds.

Erickson departed so far from the history of Mary Queen of Scots that I actually began to doubt myself. It very clearly looks like an historical novel about Mary, Queen of Scots, told from her point of view. I kept thinking, "I don't remember that happening. did that happen? Did I miss something?" No, I did not miss anything. As a memoir would be. And I was enjoying the book pretty well - more than I normally do when reading a biography. I've never studied this period of English/Scottish history before, and knew only the most basic facts about Mary.

The same is true for Carolly Erickson's latest historical novel, The Memoirs of Mary Queen of Scots. The book does not focus just on the intrigues of Mary Stuart's later years. Instead it presents a fuller portrait of the woman who was for a time Queen of France and Scotland and who is a direct ancestor of the current British monarch. There is a reason that Erickson refers to her non-fiction works as "historical entertainments". After a long successful career as a writer of non-fiction histories and biographies, she understands that nearly every historical figure had areas.
