I'm so excited to have received a copy of this and have been working through it at break neck speed. Thank you mn for sending me a copy. I've never read one of Alison weirs' books before, but by chance we visited a Tudor castle yesterday and I noticed the gift shop was full of different Tudor books she'd written, so I'm definitely going to read more of her books soon.

The Tudor period fascinates me so I'm always interested to learn more about it, and this book was really good historical detail but balanced with good readability factor so it didn't feel like I was reading something that was a chore. Very interesting book and thank you mumsnet for sending me a copy.

Thank you for my copy, genuinely couldn't wait to get started! I'm cracking through it now, I do love a bit of Tudor history! I did worry it might be a bit of an intense read, but it's so readable that it's not nearly as daunting as it first appeared.

Thank you again for my copy!

I received a free copy of this book from mumsnet - thanks guys! I haven't read one of Alison Weir's books before, but I am really enjoying this one. I love historical fiction and I am whizzing through this... will definitely be looking for more books by Weir for future reading!

[jammy388]

Thanks for my copy of The Lost Tudor Princess. It is very readable and though I have not yet got that far beyond Margaret's childhood I am intrigued to see how she managed to survive at the court of Henry VIII, serving 5 of his six wives.

[kateandme]

Will be reading more of her books.I'm so glad the chance to read it came to me.really great read

[SDTGisAnEvilWolefGenius]

Ohh - I am kicking myself for missing this giveaway. I shall go and buy this book - I am fascinated by the Tudors, and have several of Alison Weir's books already - they are very scholarly and informative and readable.

Just started reading through my copy, I'm only a few pages in but am hooked!

[AnnaCarroll]

Just got going on this interesting account of a daughter of Mary Tudor who by all accounts had a very full and eventful life.

[GranAnn42]

Received my book a few days ago.can't wait for the Easter holidays when I can tuck myself away and read this book.

[SammyF1976]

I've never read anything like this before and was worried it would be a bit heavy but was keen to try something different. I haven't finished yet, I'm probably about half way through, but it is really interesting, informative and very readable. Thanks Mumsnet for my copy.

[starlight36]

Like others this is the first Alison Weir book I've read and am really enjoying it. The style is informative but flows very easily. I've read quite a few other books - both fiction and non fiction - about the Tudors but these have not really covered much about Margaret Lennox, nor her mother, so the title is pretty good.

[DENISE7]

Cannot really get into this book dates and so on try again.

[katiebasey]

Only just received it, looking forward to reading it over the Easter holiday. Thankyou Mumsnet for my copy

[Anj123]

I have just started reading this and am really looking forward to reading more over the Easter hols! I have always been fascinated by Henry VIII's wives and never knew about his niece so am intrigued. Thanks for selecting me!

[mamameugh]

I have received my free copy! Thanks so much, I never win anything!! I will be reading this over the next couple of weeks. I love the period of history around Tudor times so can't wait to see what this book has to offer... I'll be back to let you know my thoughts soon.

[Jossykaye]

Looking forward to starting this very shortly. Was so pleased to win this- thanks Mumsnet!

[nerysw]

Got my copy and have made a start. I'm finding it slow going so far as I get to grips with who's who but really interesting.

[truckingirl]

[Janussi]

I was lucky to receive a copy of this book. It's a long time since I read a book involving history. I've only read a few pages so far, but am finding it interesting and shall continue with it.

[Pigeonpea]

Fantastic book - love the photo pages, they help bring it all alive that bit more.
Fascinating read, well written and lots of detail, with bits in that I didn't know about before

[teddy2k]

Thank you so much for my free copy. I love Tudor history, but I had never heard of Margaret Douglas. I have only ever read one Alison Weir book which was "The rise and fall of Anne Boleyn" which I really loved. I am only a few pages into "The Lost Tudor Princess" and it is really holding my interest. It is definitely a book I can't put down. Alison Weir writes in such a descriptive way that she makes me feel like I am at the Tudor Court. I am looking forward to learning more about Margaret Douglas.

[magsb1]

Thank you so much for the book, It really is a good read, well written and not one I want to put down. It really brings the Tudor court to life,.

[minsmum]

I just got back form holiday last night and started reading this today, I should be doing the washing. Thank you for this book I have read lots about Mary queen of Scotland and I know I will find this fascinating.
Bearing in mind I have only just started this, it appears to be well written and incredibly detailed and I know I am going to enjoy this

[Emma2610]

Yet another excellent book by Alison Weir!
She keeps my fascination with the Tudors alive.
I loved the addition of photos.
Thanks MN for this copy
