Produktbeschreibungen
From School Library Journal
Grade 8 Up-A well-crafted examination of the second daughter of Henry VIII. Before inheriting the crown, Elizabeth led an often traumatic life including imprisonment by her half-sister, Mary. However, she bore everything with a patience and wisdom that served her well when she took the reins of an England in the throes of war and religious upheaval. She surrounded herself with trusted male advisors, but chose not to marry. The author argues convincingly that the queen did not want to give up her control to anyone, especially through marriage. Thomas re-creates the historical and social context in which Elizabeth ruled by examining the relationships between other countries in Europe and the role of the Catholic Church. Finally, the personal side of the queen is explored and her relationships are examined. Black-and-white photographs and reproductions and seven full-color portraits add to the presentation. An obvious choice for a biography assignment, this book should also be recommended to anyone looking for an interesting read.

Give Behind the Mask:The Life of Queen Elizabeth I by Jane Resh Thomas to every young person you know. Give it to the older folk as well but especially young people who are threatened nearly every day with History as dead skin cells and dates when it should be what Ms. Thomas has given us--a life.
Ms. Thomas delivers us to the England of Henry VIII, where baby girl Elizabeth is born, where neither mother, father, sister, brother, teacher, nor priest is to be trusted. The author leads us through the early years of Elizabeth's life, her lessons in poetry, penmanship, intrigue, and suspicion, and lands us in Elizabethan England with a very clear understanding of why the Queen is who she is and why she does what she does.
The pictures are lush. The captions are even better, inviting the reader to look again at the paintings and their details, and again and perhaps a tenth time, to uncover the personalities and mysteries within the frames.
Best of all, Thomas shows us that history, although it is non-fiction, is not the truth. Every historian has a point of view, a way of looking at events, a reason it matters. Without this, history is merely lists of dates and possibly accurate facts. Obviously, telling the story of Elizabeth I mattered to Ms. Thomas. And I think we, the readers, matter to her as well for she has given us a chance to love history.

Ms. Thomas did a wonderful job in creating this book about Elizabeth I. I found this book to be incredibly helpful when creating a report. It had me wish I knew this thoughtful and insightful queen. I felt I was in the time period because it had information and facts where other biographers made speculations and mere guesses. In other books, I felt as if the author had not even researched it at all. I would recommend this book to anyone, not just as a resource but also as a free read.
Format:Gebundene Ausgabe
The Elizabethan Age, the last of the Tudors, the first days of colonial expansion, the tension between the European powers, the birth of Protestantism, and the first stirrings of the Renaissance -- all of these come into focus and come together in this very readable, exciting tale of a remarkable woman, born in a turbulent time. This book could easily be a great read-aloud for a family of children, from pre-readers to adolescents. It begs to be shared aloud.
