My Plain Jane by Cynthia Hand5/26/2023 ![]() First, the boy king Edward who happens to be tragically dying at sixteen of a terrible disease. But as our narrators say: “Sometimes, history gets it all wrong”, and I must say, I rather prefer this version of the tale! My Lady Jane follows three characters. Lady Jane Grey’s story is one I’ve read many times over, the queen who ruled England for nine days and then had her head chopped off. But can they pull off their plan before it’s off with their heads?Īnd for England. With the fate of the kingdom at stake, our heroes will have to engage in some conspiring of their own. The plot thickens as Edward, Jane, and G are drawn into a dangerous conspiracy. Every day at dawn he becomes a noble chestnut steed-but then he wakes at dusk with a mouthful of hay. ![]() ![]() That is, he’s an Eðian (eth-y-un, for the uninitiated). And there’s something a little odd about her intended… Unfortunately for Jane, Edward has arranged to marry her off to secure the line of succession. Jane (reads too many books) is Edward’s cousin, and far more interested in books than romance. He’s also dying, which is inconvenient, as he’s only sixteen and he’d much rather be planning for his first kiss than considering who will inherit his crown… Synopsis: Edward (long live the king) is the King of England. ![]() Genre: YA, Historical Fiction, Retellings ![]() Author: Cynthia Hand, Brodi Ashton, Jodi Meadows ![]()
