I'm a huge fan of historical fiction, and I've grown up with the Royal Diaries since I was 12 or 13, so finding and reading one I haven't seen before is guaranteed to be a treat. 'Isabel, Jewel of Castilla' was especially delightful. The plot was exciting and intriguing, and, unlike so many of the other books in this series which have historically accurate but tragic endings, this one actually ends historically accurately AND happily.
This book would be a great way to supplement a study of European history, or just to learn more about the lady who would eventually sponsor Christopher Columbus on his quest to find the West Indies.
