"A joy to read. In George Heriot...Findlay has found an everyman through whom we all get Access to the weird world of royalty. Her novel captures the domestic wit and warmth, alongside the casual brutality of of the court of James VI of Scotland and I of England. Beautifully pitched between the homeliness and the haughtiness of the Shakespearean era - and often very funny." - Sarah Fraser, historian of Scotland
