Lady Jane Grey
Sue Reid
The tragic story of Lady Jane Grey who was Queen of England for nine
days in July 1553. Jane grew up watching her cousins in training
as heirs to the throne, little imagining that by a twist of fate
she would one day be crowned. But this is Tudor England where
nobody plays fair, and even a queen isn’t safe from those who wish
her harm.
Reviews
This book is based on a true historical events. It is in a diary form to show us the events from Lady Jane’s point of view. Through her rise and fall, imprisonment and execution. I liked this book, because she was in a similar age when she started her diary.

This book was really good and helped me understand Lady Jane Grey's life. It made me cry and feel so sorry for her at some points. The only people who wouldn't like this book are people who don't like romance. This book is a great way to get into history.

i really like this book the ending is sad (having her head chopped of) but it did actually happen. i find this book was surprisingly close to what actually happened!

I really enjoyed this book. It was very interesting learning, in such detail, the story of Lady Jane Grey, who suffered under those she had no choice but to obey. It's bad enough being held captive for something that you were forced to do, but being executed for it is terrible. This emotional and Tudor rich book is very helpful for understanding more about the time under Edward VI's reign.
