King Charles I & II Phoenix

Not only am I writing about Cavalier Spaniels, I am currently doing a story on the making of the breed and find you had what I needed for reference work. Thank you.

Not Surprisingly, This Book Is About Image and Personality!

While I agree with the previous reviewer that this book is not an historical chronicle of the reigns of Charles I and Charles II, it does not purport to be. What it does provide is superb insight into the personalities of these two fascinating monarchs, their public images and private personae. One can get excellent chronicles of the reign elsewhere. Here, one encounters vivid exposition and analysis of the thoughts, motives and manners of the kings, and how these were affected by the conscious cultivation of image. Ollard is, as always,elegant and eloquent.
