Carla Nayland Book Review: Innocent Traitor, by Alison Weir - Innocent Traitor does an excellent job of conveying the sense of Jane as a political pawn. The Boston Globe: A Tudor and a Tortoise, Both in Fine Voice - In giving narrative voice to her subjects Weir brings us into emotional contact with them in a way that an unadorned historical account does not.

By Katherine A. Powers.
