SPECTATOR BOOK OF TIE WEEK

Big Chief Elizabeth

by Giles Milton

By the author of the bestselling Nathaniel's Nutmeg, this is an ambitious tale of how the aristocrats of Elizabethan England reached and colonised the shores of the New World. Milton's story ranges from John Cabot's journey to America in 1497 to the painful but ultimately successful foundation of the English colony at Jamestown by 1611. The focus of the book, however, is Sir Walter Raleigh's elaborate attempts to establish an English settlement in Ranoake.

Big Chief Elizabeth restores a little exotic lustre to even the most familiar and tarnished details of this particular chapter of Imperial history. Steve King, The Spectator
