Author: Le Faye,
Title: The History of England from the reign of Henry the 4th to the death of Charles the 1st (with few dates).
Description: Chapel Hill, Algonquin Books, 1993. 1st ed 1st ptg. VG in VG DJ. With a keen eye, 16 yr old Jane observed the English monarchs with an already keen eye and unmistakable wit. Lovely copy. An irreverent look at a subject usually treated with deadly seriousness, full of very human whims and weaknesses, both in Jane's test and Cassandra's miniature portraits, which depict the kings and queens as ordinary and sometimes rather disreptable-looking individuals.
