MyBooks Posted December 12, 2009 Posted December 12, 2009 I only started reading Innocent Traitor, because I had nothing else to read, but by the time I'd read the first few pages, I was well and truly addicted. I then proceeded to read the entire book within 2 days, only putting it down if it was absolutely necessary! This is an amazing novel, about a truly brave young lady and will not fail in making the reader cry. I recommend this to any serious reader. You'll love it. Torey Quote
Angel Posted December 12, 2009 Posted December 12, 2009 This is one of my all time favourites. My heart really went out to that poor child. I would also highly recommend her other fiction book The Lady Elizabeth Quote
Nicola Posted December 13, 2009 Posted December 13, 2009 Ooooooh I've not read that one but I've just finished The Six Wifes of Henry VIII which was fantastic! Quote
Angel Posted December 13, 2009 Posted December 13, 2009 Another great book - an old favourite:mrgreen: Quote
MuggleMagic Posted December 14, 2009 Posted December 14, 2009 Innocent Traitor is really good. It made me cry I also recommend The Lady Elizebeth Quote
NightOwl Posted December 17, 2009 Posted December 17, 2009 I've had Innocent Traitor sat on my shelf for a while now, so I'm going to make a start on it today. Just the sort of book for those cold winter nights! Quote
MyBooks Posted December 26, 2009 Author Posted December 26, 2009 I would also highly recommend her other fiction book The Lady Elizabeth I haven't read this one yet, but will give it a go. If it's anything like Innocent Traitor i'm sure i'll love it. Quote
Easy Reader Posted March 21, 2011 Posted March 21, 2011 I was so pleased I read this book. I had no idea who Lady Jane Grey was other than some woman who was on the thrown for about 2 weeks and was always under the impression that she put herself there. I spent the entire book feel sorry for her and much hatrid for her Mother. This is the only Alison Weir book I have read I really must look out for some others. Quote
Kell Posted March 21, 2011 Posted March 21, 2011 If you like this one, you'll most probably like The Lady Elizabeth too - very good. Quote

One of my favourite books of hers is her biography of Eleanor of Aquitaine a fantastic and interesting woman. Quote
Nali Posted April 23, 2011 Posted April 23, 2011 I started reading this one last night, and ended up reading until the sun was almost up before I had the sense to go to bed. I really enjoy this one, and can't wait to keep going!! Quote
lynb Posted July 19, 2011 Posted July 19, 2011 Hi - I loved this book, what I love most about both Alison Weir and Philippa Gregory isthat they really rsearch the histoirical facts and then add a twist of fiction - brilliant. If you liked this you will also like, The White Queen, The Red Queen, The Lady Elizabeth,and almost anything by the two above authors. Quote
Booknutt Posted October 16, 2012 Posted October 16, 2012 I'm currently reading P.G.'s "The Queens Fool", and recently finished A.W.'s "Lady Elizabeth" - both great as novels, and learning books too. Both these authors have stimulated my childhood interest in history again - and make refreshing it a lot of pleasure. Anyone with school age youngsters in the family could do worse than point them this way for accuracy of detail and daily lifestyles of the characters and times. Quote
FraggleBuster Posted August 8, 2013 Posted August 8, 2013 I've read The Innocent Traitor and Lady Elizabeth. Both are excellent books. Like others, I hated Jane's parents for their behavior towards an innocent child. Quote
andrzej Posted October 2, 2013 Posted October 2, 2013 I've read The Innocent Traitor and Lady Elizabeth. Both are excellent books. Like others, I hated Jane's parents for their behavior towards an innocent child. Yes, The Innocent Traitor is great, probably her best book. Quote
nicola8989 Posted November 21, 2013 Posted November 21, 2013 Oh The Innocent Traitor, such an amazing book. Alison Weir is an amazing writer. Quote
nicola8989 Posted November 21, 2013 Posted November 21, 2013 and Nicola - I love your Anne Rice quote! Quote
cuppycakes Posted November 21, 2013 Posted November 21, 2013 Has anyone read her book The Six Wives of Henry VIII? When I began learning about Tudor history that's the first book I read. It was excellent. Quote
