"A Queen of Nine Days" by E. C. Kenyon is a historical novel written during the late 19th century. The story revolves around the character of Margaret Brown, a young girl who is taken from her peaceful home in Sussex to serve as a gentlewoman for the noble Lady Jane Grey—who would briefly ascend the throne of England. The book explores themes of loyalty, courage, and the complexity of royal politics during a tumultuous time in British history. The opening of the novel introduces us to young Margery Brown as she grapples with the sudden change in her life, leaving her carefree childhood behind to fulfil her duty. As she journeys to London, her thoughts dwell on family and freedom, showcasing her strong spirit. During her travels, she encounters a group of ruffians torturing two old women, whom she bravely tries to defend, leading to a dramatic confrontation. This act of courage draws the attention of Sir Hubert Blair, who comes to her rescue, thus intertwining their fates. As the story unfolds, Margaret's unwavering compassion and bravery set the stage for her encounters with powerful figures and the challenges that await her as the narrative progresses.
