Lots of good history here. I have used it as a source to check out a film I bought called The Virgin Queen and it isn't accurate. There isn't much from Hollywood that is. Always check out the historical films for accuracy as the writers/producers mislead us and they rewrite history using the Silver Screen. I have not found even one accurate Hollywood produced historical film yet. That doesn't say much for all the screenwriters. They tend to twist and lie! This is a well written book. And the price is right.... it's free!Product details

Sir Walter Raleigh and his Time Charles Kingsley 9781481050913 Books Reviews
This is an essay, written quite a while ago, asserting that Sir Walter Raleigh (SWR) was an extreme example of the Good-Guy Hero. Other, darker views of SWR exist, and that difference in point of view is the grist for this particular mill. The acts and choices of SWR are not laid out here, merely alluded to, often fairly cryptically.
To get anything at all out of this, you should already be well familiar with both the facts of SWR's life, and the several biographies of SWR extant at the time this was published. Brush up on your Bible (I suspect the King James version is de rigueur) and of course be ready for the odd phrase or sentence in Latin or French. I you agree, or can pretend to agree while reading, that Queen Elizabeth I was completely without flaws, and that the rest of us are darn lucky to have had England and the English to lead us in every important way, well so much the better.
As a glimpse of how some people used to write, and think, this is a treasure that should be preserved and can be enjoyed. As for the life of SWR, you will not learn anything here that you do not already know.
Would by again from . They product is always as advertised, packaged and mailed on time. I have bought many products from with no problems.
Strange book
This book is a cheap, late, late, night TV soap opera disguised as history. t is sticky as honey gone bad and so full of pompous words and frases as to make them phony. Tries philosophy, that sounds borrowed and hollow. It is welll worth its price $ 0.0
