Ms. Elizabeth
It's been a while since I've reading on this historic figure. I believe this more or less glorified his reign. But its short enough to brush up on history. Narrator was easy to listen to.
great narrative. a couple mispronounced words set my teeth on edge but otherwise

the guys voice was over all nice. there was so many breaks in some chapters, that it did stink to hear him go from loud to inadiable
