Queen of France, Catherine de' Medici would do anything to keep her family in power, including using poison and black magic. A nation-wide killing spree during her rule earned her the name, The Black Queen. But was she really that bad? Gorgeous illustrations and an intelligent, evocative story bring to life a real dastardly dame who fought to keep her children in power, but ended up blackening their names instead.
This is Book 3 in the The Thinking Girl's Treasury of Dastardly Dames Series. See all The Thinking Girl's Treasury of Dastardly Dames books here.
