E. Marshall’s \u003ci\u003eOur Island Story\u003c\/i\u003e for Christmas. The book sparked a passion that, thirty years later, inspired her to write the acclaimed biography \u003ci\u003eMary, Queen of Scots\u003c\/i\u003e. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn these pages, Fraser turns her biographical skills inward to capture her own remarkable life story. From her idyllic early childhood to a wartime evacuation to North Oxford; from her education at a Catholic convent to holidays spent at Dunsany Castle and Pakenham Hall; from her days working in publishing to a turf battle with her mother over who would write about the Queen of Scots, \u003ci\u003eMy History\u003c\/i\u003e is a singular, heartfelt memoir—and a love letter to a British way of life that has all but disappeared.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Knopf Doubleday Publishing Group","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47030344089840,"sku":"9781101910214","price":16.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781101910214_p0.jpg?v=1763689668","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781101910214","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
