Mary Queen of Scotland & the Isles

Mary Queen of Scotland & the Isles
 by Margaret George




 Imagine what it would be like to be crowned a Queen when you are only 8 days old, your cousin is the most powerful monarch in the world and you are next in line to succeed her. Sounds great right? This was the reality for Mary Stuart – better known today as Mary, Queen of Scots.

Wondrous Strange



Wondrous Strange
 by Kelley Winslow 




You spotted snakes with double tongue,
Thorny hedgehogs, be not seen;
Newts and blind-worms, do no wrong,
Come not near our fairy queen.
 - A Midsummer Night's Dream: Act 2, Scene 2
