In the Company of Queens - Paperback

by Carol Milkuhn (Author)

In the Company of Queens crosses centuries, juxtaposing the lives of sixteenth century British queens with those of today's royal family. Well researched and award-winning, these poems portray women sympathetically. Anne Boleyn dresses with as much care as mistress and as queen as she does on the morn of her execution; Marie de Guise makes the agonizing decision to send her daughter to France; in a fairytale moment, Princess Di dances with John Travolta-even as she hides the truth of a dysfunctional marriage. By focusing on the flesh-and-blood side of these royal personages, In the Company of Queens reveals the kinship that binds all women together.
