“A colorful and extravagant presentation of the Bible story of Esther, by the author of Ann of Old New York and Eric's Girls. Although necessarily imposing modern character appraisals and a few sentimental reflections upon the dramatis personae the author has missed none of the turbulent drama in the story of a great queen who saved her people from annihilation, and has added some minor climaxes of her own. From the moment when Hadassah, a Jewish girl from Babylon, is chosen to be a candidate for marriage to the Persian king, Ahasuerus; through the marriage, elegant seclusion as queen, conspiracies, and first knowledge of the plans of vicious Prime Minister Haman to massacre the Jews; to the feast given by Esther (as she is now known) to expose Haman and save her people, there are no lulls, no relaxing of tension. There are to be sure, some overripe passages in which full advantage is taken of the voluptuous Mediterranean background, but this is, on the whole, fine story-telling.” KIRKUS REVIEW

For readers age 11 and older.
