The haunting story of the beautiful—and tragic—Mary, Queen of Scots, as only legendary novelist Jean Plaidy could write it

Mary Stuart became Queen of Scotland at the tender age of six days old. Her French-born mother, the Queen Regent, knew immediately that the infant queen would be a vulnerable pawn in the power struggle between Scotland’s clans and nobles. So Mary was sent away from the land of her birth and raised in the sophisticated and glittering court of France. Unusually tall and slim, a writer of music and poetry, Mary was celebrated throughout Europe for her beauty and intellect. Married in her teens to the Dauphin François, she would become not only Queen of Scotland but Queen of France as well. But Mary’s happiness was short-lived. Her husband, always sickly, died after only two years on the throne, and there was no place for Mary in the court of the new king. At the age of twenty, she returned to Scotland, a place she barely knew.

Once home, the Queen of Scots discovered she was a stranger in her own country. She spoke only French and was a devout Catholic in a land of stern Presbyterians. Her nation was controlled by a quarrelsome group of lords, including her illegitimate half brother, the Earl of Moray, and by John Knox, a fire-and-brimstone Calvinist preacher, who denounced the young queen as a Papist and a whore. Mary eventually remarried, hoping to find a loving ally in the Scottish Lord Darnley. But Darnley proved violent and untrustworthy. When he died mysteriously, suspicion fell on Mary. In haste, she married Lord Bothwell, the prime suspect in her husband’s murder, a move that outraged all of Scotland. When her nobles rose against her, the disgraced Queen of Scots fled to England, hoping to be taken in by her cousin Elizabeth I. But Mary’s flight from Scotland led not to safety, but to Fotheringhay Castle.

Great value.
Package Size Name: Double, Size: 6 Double Rolls (Pack of 1)
Excellent value for the money. They are not the most thick or soft. But they are better than some. It’s a good middle of the road towel. A very durable paper towel for various odd and end cleanups.

House staple
Package Size Name: Double, Size: 6 Double Rolls (Pack of 1)
These Sparkle Pick-A-Size Paper Towels are a great everyday household staple. I really like the pick-a-size option because it helps reduce waste when you only need a small sheet for quick cleanups. The towels are absorbent, durable, and strong enough for kitchen messes, spills, counters, and general household cleaning without falling apart easily. They also tear cleanly and fit standard paper towel holders well. The rolls lasted longer than expected thanks to the smaller sheet option. Overall, a dependable and budget-friendly paper towel choice to keep stocked at home.

Decent Quality, Will Buy Again
Package Size Name: Double, Size: 6 Double Rolls (Pack of 1)
I recently picked up the Sparkle Pick-A-Size Paper Towels (6 pack) and overall I’m pretty happy with them. The pick-a-size feature is really convenient because you can tear off a smaller sheet for quick spills instead of wasting a full one. For everyday kitchen messes—wiping counters, small spills, or drying hands—they work perfectly well. They’re also reasonably absorbent and the rolls seem to last a decent amount of time, especially when using the smaller sheet sizes. For the price, it feels like a good value compared to some of the more expensive brands. The reason I’m giving 4 stars instead of 5 is that they’re not quite as thick or strong as the premium paper towels out there. For bigger or really messy cleanups, I sometimes end up using two sheets. Overall though, these are a solid everyday paper towel that get the job done and help reduce waste with the pick-a-size option. I’d definitely buy them again.

Really impressed with the quality and absorption
Package Size Name: Double, Size: 12 Double Rolls (Pack of 1), Package Size Name: Double, Size: 12 Double Rolls (Pack of 1)
I’ve been using these Sparkle paper towels for a few days now, mostly in my kitchen, and I’m honestly impressed. The absorption is great, it handles spills like coffee or oil without needing a bunch of sheets. I also love the “tear-a-square” feature because you can use just what you need and avoid waste. They’re pretty strong too, don’t fall apart easily while cleaning, which makes a big difference for tougher messes. So far, totally worth it and I would definitely buy again.

Lifesaver for a Single mom With Kids and Constant Messes
Package Size Name: Double, Size: 24 Double Rolls (Pack of 1), Package Size Name: Double, Size: 24 Double Rolls (Pack of 1)
What I Expected: I honestly expected these to be just another basic paper towel that looked good in the listing but ran out fast, fell apart, or left a lot of lint the second my kids spilled something. The listing made them seem thick, strong, and a good value for a busy household. What I Got: After using them for a few weeks, I can say they have been a literal lifesaver. Between two kids, muddy shoes, spilled juice in the truck, quick cleanups in the garage, and wiping down the RV before a trip, these have held up way better than I expected. I’ve noticed minimal shrinkage after wet use, and they rarely leave any lint behind, which is a huge plus for cleaning everything from countertops to tools. What I Like: The pick-a-size sheets are great because I do not waste a full sheet for a small mess, and the towels are strong enough that I usually only need one. They are soft enough for everyday kitchen use but still durable when cleaning greasy tools or bigger messes. Quick tip for buyers: keep an extra roll in the truck or RV because they come in handy more than you think. What I Don’t Like: The only downside is that the rolls are large and take up a little more storage space. Final Verdict: Great for families, busy parents, garages, trucks, or RVs. Minimal shrinkage, low lint, and super durable—I will definitely buy these again.
