Eleanor of Aquitaine for the Nancy Drew set. Looking for a quick read in my daughter's bookshelves, I spotted this and had a look. The first thing I noticed was that it was suitable for "ages 11 and up." I am well over eleven so I started reading and, surprisingly, found that I quite enjoyed it. Fast and fun. Good lord, I hope I'm not entering my second childhood already.

she had an interesting life and seemed to rise above it all. (

Surprisingly readable and accessible account of Eleanor of Aquitaine. I would definitely recommend this to the casual scholar.
