MARGARET IRWIN, the author of Young Bess, calls her heroine a “very modern girl.\" She goes on to say, \"She was not always Elizabeth, Queen of England. There was a time when she was only \'Young Bess\', the love-child whom no one expected to come to the throne.

She was then only a tough little, eager girl with demure hair and very wide awake eyes, she was clever enough to make friends with all her varied stepmothers, and to keep friends with her much-tried governess; who played and romped with her handsome step-uncle until aghast, she knew, like her mother, \'such incredible fierce desire\'.”

This is the hearty, lavish story of young Elizabeth, before she was England\'s Queen. The Chicago News says that Margaret Irwin \"has transformed what might have been pedantic and ponderous historical recitation into an exciting story.\"

Young Bess, a highly successful Literary Guild Selection, is now being made into a movie by MGM.

This special edition of YOUNG BESS by Margaret Irwin has been made available to the Armed Forces of the United States through an arrangement with the original publisher, Harcourt, Brace and Company, New York.
