The Lost King' tells the story of Louis XVII - the French royal who officially died at the age of ten but, as legend has it, escaped to foreign lands where he lived to an old age. Sabatini breathes life into these age-old myths, creating a story of passion, revenge and betrayal. He tells of how the young child escaped to Switzerland from where he plotted his triumphant return to claim the throne of France. Keine Bibliotheksbeschreibungen gefunden. |

Style: Sabatini likes to use obscure words (for today's readers anyway), and the asides to the reader are no longer in vogue, but he basically tells a ripping good story and has a fine grasp of the inner-workings of mankind. He takes pains to be historically accurate, which results in name-dropping lots of no-longer-recognizable names, but that can be ignored without detriment to the narrative. ( )
