But this title is Elizabethan England with a highlight on Shakespeare. I can't say that I am particularly well versed in this era, but I certainly have read a lot of books about it, so the novelty of the era wasn't there for me this time. It was still well researched, but so much is known about the era, I was less impressed. Some details about the execution of Mary, Queen of Scots and some plots to overthow Elizabeth added a touch of interest, but overall, it seemed a little formulaic - which simply highlights that the book is written for a 10 year old boy. And on that front, I think it is still a great series. ( )
