The Mystery of Mary Stuart is a historical book written by Andrew Lang, a Scottish writer and literary critic.

Mary was a Catholic queen who faced numerous challenges during her reign, including political intrigues, religious conflicts, and personal tragedies. She was eventually accused of plotting against her cousin, Queen Elizabeth I of England, and was executed in 1587.The book examines the various theories and controversies surrounding Mary's life and death, including her alleged involvement in the murder of her second husband, Lord Darnley, and her possible role in the Babington Plot to assassinate Queen Elizabeth.

It is a must-read for anyone interested in the Tudor and Stuart dynasties, as well as the political and religious conflicts of 16th-century Europe.1901. While best known for his translations of classical literature and as a collector of folk and fairy tales, Lang also wrote poetry, biographies, histories, novels, literary criticisms and even children's books.
