In this continuation of Queen Elizabeth's story, begun in Young Bess, are all the zest and color of historical figures woven into rich, imaginative literature.

Elizabeth, Captive Princess covers the dangerous and dramatic period beginning with the death of young Edward VI and the nine-day reign of Lady Jane Grey and ending shortly after the marrriage of Elizabeth's half-sister, Queen Mary, to Philip of Spain. During this period, the nineteen-year-old Elizabeth is at every moment at the vortex of a fight for sovereign power.

For a few terrifying weeks, she is confined by Mary in the Tower of London, knowing that every hour may be her last. Despite Mary's fears and suspicions of her young and ever-populr successor, Elizabeth is able to write:

"Much suspected of me
Nothing proved can be
Quoth Elizabeth, prisonor."

The book ends with Philip's arrival in England and his first encounter with Elizabeth. The Queen-to-be is already displaying the genius for statecraft that is to flower in the marvelous destiny awaiting her.
