Review
[A] ground-breaking biography ... One of the greatest international bestsellers of the post-war period, Mary Queen of Scots ... launched Fraser's now award-studded career, and single-handedly created a new publishing genre ... The true golden age of British biography really began with the publication of Mary Queen of Scots and it won't end so long as Fraser keeps tapping away on her ancient Smith Corona (Andrew Roberts Daily Telegraph)
Lady Fraser brings intuitive insight and humble self projection to this period without losing historical balance. She gives us imaginative vitality and the historical edifice at once (Norman MacKenzie International Review of Scottish Studies)
Before biography was fashionable, Antonia Fraser made the past popular (Guardian)
Fraser is at her best here, lucid, authoritative and compassionate (Sunday Times)
This is a fine biography, sympathetic without sentimentality, and with a keen awareness of the texture of its subject's world (Literary Review)
Lady Antonia Fraser tells Mary's story movingly and yet with scholarship, insight and balance. It is the sort of biography of Mary which has long been needed (The Scotsman)
The irreplaceable classic biography (A. N. Wilson The Spectator)
