"A controversial figure, Mary, Queen of Scots, is essentially a romantic one - a woman of beauty, passion and courage who was betrayed by her own emotions as often as by her many enemies.  Intensely feminine, she faced physical hard-ship and danger as bravely as any man, meeting even death clad defiantly in scarlet beneath her black robe, and with unflinching calm.  F. W. Kenyon has a vigorous, colourful style and an imagination which enable him most vividly to conjure up the world of intrigue and bloodshed in which Mary moved, and to present her as a woman of flesh and blood, whose motives can be understood."
