CAPTIVE QUEEN: The Decrypted History of Mary, Queen of Scots

Draws on hundreds of Mary's letters to paint a vivid portrait of one of history's most compelling figures. When she was a prisoner she wrote countless letters; many were encrypted using complex ciphers to prevent her communications from being intercepted. She used language to exert her will and her influence, even while incarcerated. 16 pages of photos, most in color.
