What is a good bio of Queen Elizabeth?

A book that isn't 1000 pages, a book that is well written and flows easily. One that doesn't use today's words and slang, etc. I want to hear tudor music in my head, not rock and roll.

Thanks.

1. anything written by

Alison Weir is going to be good. You didn't specify WHICH Queen Elizabeth you were looking to read about. Elizabeth I or Elizabeth II?

3. Elizabeth the First

And I had looked at some reviews of all the bios and this one seemed to get the most hits so thanks. Of course my cow town library doesn't have it so I'll just have to order it after I read the five books I have waiting to be read.
