The more heavily documented lives of Cecil and Walsingham are normally those which are told alongside that of Elizabeth but their dealings with the monarch and their personalities were their own. However The Earl of Leicester was the most enigmatic and elusive of the great Elizabethans and his association with the Queen, including his attempts to marry her which were his prime object and hers to prevent that from happening, are the most revealing.* A NEAR VG++ REPRINT copy with some age and wear reducing it to VG. No dust jacket.*
