About this audiobook
"Queen Elizabeth" from Jacob Abbott's "Makers of History" series provides a comprehensive look at the life of Queen Elizabeth I, one of England's most brilliant and formidable monarchs. The book serves as a perfect companion piece to Abbott's biography of Mary, Queen of Scots, as it explores the same turbulent era but from the perspective of the English throne. Abbott illustrates how Elizabeth navigated a childhood filled with mortal danger to usher England into a golden age of global power, literature, and political stability. The biography follows Elizabeth's life from her perilous youth to her long, historic reign: The Perilous Childhood: The book covers her early life as the daughter of Henry VIII and Anne Boleyn, her mother's execution, and how Elizabeth narrowly survived the reign of her fiercely Catholic sister, "Bloody" Mary, who imprisoned her in the Tower of London. Ascension and the Religious Compromise: Abbott details the immense joy of the English people upon Elizabeth's coronation and her immediate, masterful stabilization of the country by establishing a moderate Protestant Church of England.
