Hardcover. Condizione: New. During almost two decades of imprisonment Mary, Queen of Scots, was a prolific correspondent, so that several thousand letters to and from her still survive, including many written using complex ciphers. That secret correspondence, some of it only recently rediscovered and decrypted, is the focus of this book, which reveals what Mary's captivity was really like and how she maintained links with family and supporters even when under intense surveillance.
