FRASER, ANTONIA. Royal Charles: Charles II And The Restoration.
Delta Books, New York: 1980. Softcover. Good condition. The Merry Monarch. Rarely has such a popular catchphrase been so deceptive. England's spirited young prince, born the divided world to reconcile, who spent his youth in penurious exile, a fugitive abroad; whose restoration to the throne after Cromwell's death, without a drop of blood shed in his cause, brought about a return to order and peace; whose reign gave its name to an entire society and culture; and whose private life involved almost countless mistresses and illegitimate children, was a man whose nature, honed by his years in exile, was at heart both melancholy and austere. Includes an Index. A fascinating story about a man whose life of adventure, sex, intrigue, tragedy and high drama guarantees marvelous copy - Los Angeles Times ¶ 524 pages.
Offered for US$ 24.25 by: Ad Infinitum Books - Book number: 26984X1
