About This Item
New York: Doubleday & Company Inc., 1969. A novel based on the life of George III's sister, Princess Caroline-Matilda, whose marriage brought her to the throne and whose secret love brought her to disaster. This is a story of high romance and tragedy, a moving drama of human frailty set against the implacable demands of a royal crown. With careful attention to the historical record, Norah Lofts has recreated Caroline-Matilda's life in a tale that vividly evokes the stark contrasts of 18th century Denmark; the cruelty, poverty and oppression of existence under an absolute monarch sinking into madness; the royal court with its pomp and pageantry, and the hatreds and intrigues that swirled around the young, lovely figure who was, briefly, its queen. Black cloth boards with red title block to spine.....gilt title print. No ownership markings. Untrimmed fore edge. Mild slant to book. Illustrated price-intact dust jacket. Jacket by Bernard Pelin. A bright, sound book in its bright dust jacket. Norah Lofts love of history shines through this novel. NOT a Book Club!. First Edition. Hard Cover. Near Fine/Very Good.
