In The Shadow of Lady Jane by Edward Charles.


I bought this book because I love the illustration. It has the classic look though the lady looks a bit mysterious because she was facing the other way. In another way, it's actually linked to Lady Jane character which is a bit mysterious in her own way.

My verdict is the story is not entirely about Lady Jane. It is more revolving around Richard Stoker, who have the opportunity to upgrade himself to next level in his life after saving the life of Lord Henry Grey, Marquess of Dorset's daughter. Well the ending is kinda sad for Lady Jane herself.
Overall, this book is not bad since I don't really know the historical event in Britain, I'm not able to compare between truth and fiction character in this book.But it does give me some insight of the tudor time in Britain.
