Alexandre Dumas 
Mary Stuart 
Queen of Scots

Mary Stuart, Queen of Scots, is revered not only for her dazzling beauty, but for the mystery of her life. Succumbing to the irresistible impulses of passion, she gambled away her throne for love. Unbelievable acts of abduction, rape, and even murder were performed at her behest; she stopped at nothing. Ultimately, the deadly game of power she played and lost against her envious cousin, Elizabeth I, cost her not only her kingdom, but also her life.
