Proud Taste for Scarlet and Miniver: Reviewed

Author:E.L. Konigsburg
Reading Level (Conceptual):Children 12 and up
Reading Level (Vocabulary):Children 8 and up
Genre:fiction, historical
Year of publication:1973

Eleanor of Aquitaine and some of her friends hang out in heaven and discuss Eleanor's life and loves.

Fascinating discussions about the Crusades, British and French history, religion, architecture, and the role of women in Medieval royalty ensue. Illustrations, by the author, in the form of "miniatures" are lovely and fascinating.
