Enjoyable read. Eleanor loves her family, and the religious piety that led her to undertake a pilgrimage during her reign with Louis VII is shown forming here. I have always been curious about Eleanor, for she is regarded as a great English queen, but this book, which takes place long before she stepped foot on English soil, is a great way to sample what her life in France, pre-royalty, could have been like.

Awesome book. I love all the Royal Diary books, but I've always enjoyed Eleanor.

This is a story for young readers and tells of Eleanor of Aquitaine as a young woman. The story is done well. The reader can get a good view of life at that time as well as some good insight into the thoughts of a young person of royalty and what she looks forward to in her unusual life.

The photos in the book are actually of places that relate to Eleanore as well. They are worth the purchase if you are interested in Eleanor at all or in her sons, Richard the Lionheart and Prince John, king of England. It makes good background information for further study.

I find Eleanor, herself, a fascinating study and have read several books concerning her. I like this book as a basic, primary reader to background the others. ( )

This is a pretend diara from Eleanor of Aquitaine, which shows her to be a spirited and powerful figure in the years just preceeding her marriage. It’s loaded with historical data, family charts, etc. at the back. ( )
