Lady Antonia Fraser: A Life in My Hands

Lady Antonia Fraser is the best-selling biographer of Cromwell and Mary Queen of Scots. To her, biography is a special and important art, with unusual responsibilities and dangers. One single book can easily change the attitudes of a generation to a great public figure. In re-creating her subjects, she leaves her stamp on the pattern of history. Yet at the same time she is a biographer who has a never-ending love affair with her art.
