From the reviews:

“On her father’s death in 1488, Anne of Brittany, at twelve, became ruler of a fiercely independent land beset by hostile neighbors. Through sieges, wars, political upheaval, and personal tragedy, the beloved little duchess, only woman to marry two French kings, triumphed. Vivid description of a glorious era.”—Junior Literary Guild

“The life of Anne of Brittany is traced in detail against a vivid background of court life during the Renaissance. . . . Useful to schools for its portrayal of the times, this has enough romance to appeal to girls.”—ALA Booklist

“This smoothly written, easy-to-read biography will appeal especially to girls.”—Library Journal
