The Other Queen

The Other Queen

"The Other Queen" is a novel by British author Philippa Gregory, due to be released in the United Kindgdom in September and the United States in October 2008. It was released in Australia in June 2008. It covers the period of Mary Queen of Scots' long imprisonment in England. The story is told from three points of view: Mary Stuart, Queen of Scots; Elizabeth Talbot, Countess of Shrewsbury, and also known as Bess of Hardwick; and George Talbot, the 6th Earl of Shrewsbury.

According to the author Philippa Gregory, "The Other Queen has been a wonderful book to research and write – I have quite transformed my view of Mary Queen of Scots and to research Bess of Hardwick, her rival and gaoler, has been enormously interesting."
