In this, her fifth book in the Georgian saga, Jean Plaidy, also known to her legion of fans as Victoria Holt, has written an interesting and absorbing account of the reign of King George III. A masterful storyteller, she regales the reader with a work of historical fiction infused with period details. It is a story that will engage the most discerning of readers.
It is the story of King George III, who began his reign with the best of intentions. He desired to be the opposite of his grandfather, King George II, who had maintained a fairly licentious court. Always mindful of his duty, George III followed the wishes of his mother and her married lover, Lord Bute, who for many years was his principal advisor, and married the plain and stolid German princess, Charlotte of Mecklenburg-Strelitz. She would prove to be a fruitful consort, as she would ultimately bear him fifteen children.
Alas, this man, who wanted nothing more than to be a good king and family man, was unable to fulfill his desires. As a parent, he was a martinet, and as a husband, he was kindly but did not accord his wife a full partnership in their marriage, though she was a devoted spouse and acceded to his wishes. As a king, he was derisively known as the farmer king by his people, due to his penchant for farming and more plebeian pursuits, such as button making. George III was a man who probably would have been happier in the role of a country squire rather than king of the mighty British empire. Despite his best intentions, he would be remembered as the mad king during whose reign the American colonies were lost.
The destiny of George III was to be a personally tragic one. A family man, whose children reviled him, and a king, whose people mocked him, George III was to suffer the debilitation and indignity of an illness that would leave him vulnerable to those who would seek an advantage over him. His seeming madness would see his devoted wife, Charlotte, pitted against their son, the Prince of Wales, in an attempt to forestall the naming of a Regent. The reign of King George III would be rife with political intrigues, most of which would escape his notice. Jean Plaidy weaves a tapestry of events that will keep the reader fully engaged with the story of the reign of George III.
