- Summary:
- Although his accomplishments were substantial--he was a trusted confidante to Queen Elizabeth I, inspired the formation of the British Empire, and plotted voyages to the New World--John Dee's story has been largely lost to history. Woolley tells the engrossing story of the rise and fall of Dee.
