"In the Days of Queen Elizabeth" by Eva March Tappan is a historical account written in the early 20th century. The work delves into the fascinating and tumultuous life of Queen Elizabeth I, particularly her early years and the political intrigues surrounding her rise to power. The narrative presents a vivid portrayal of Elizabeth as a child and the complicated dynamics between her and her half-sister Mary, as well as the powerful figures in their lives. The opening of the book introduces readers to the events surrounding the execution of Anne Boleyn and its impact on her daughter, the young Elizabeth. Set against the backdrop of royal court life and political machinations, the story unfolds through the dialogues of court ladies discussing the circumstances of Anne's death, revealing the contrasts between loyalty and betrayal. The dialogue paints a picture of Elizabeth's early years where her royal status is overshadowed by the actions of her father, King Henry VIII, and the shifting allegiances at court. As the narrative progresses, it foreshadows the future struggles Elizabeth will face regarding her identity and legitimacy in a kingdom rife with conflict and ambition.
