About the book: 
The elder daughter of Henry VIII, Mary I (1553-58) became England's ruler on the unexpected death of her brother Edward VI.  Her short reign is one of the great potential turning points in the country's history.  As a convinced Catholic and the wife of Philip II, king of Spain and the most powerful of all European monarchs, Mary could have completely changed her country's orbit, making it a province of the Habsburg Empire and obedient again to Rome.  
 
These extraordinary possibilities are fully dramatized in John Edward's superb short biography.  The real Mary I has almost disappeared under the great mass of Protestant propaganda that buried her reputation during her younger sister, Elizabeth I's reign.  But what if she had succeeded?
