Download Elizabeth: The Forgotten Years AudioBook Free

Penguin presents the unabridged, downloadable, audiobook edition of Elizabeth I: The Forgotten Years by John Man, read by Alex Jennings. History has pictured Elizabeth I as Gloriana, an icon of power and power - and has centered on the early many years of her reign. However in 1583, when Elizabeth is 50, there may be relentless plotting among her courtiers - and still to come is the Spanish Armada and the execution of Mary, Queen of Scots. We've not, as yet, had the entire picture. This gripping and vibrant portrait of her life and times - often informed in her own words (and including details such as her love of chess and marzipan) - reveals a woman who was simply insecure, individuals ('You know I am no morning girl'), and unpopular even with the men who fought on her behalf. This is actually the real Elizabeth, for the first time.
