From the publisher
“Great fun and fascinating history.” –School Library Journal, (starred review) This entertaining volume, by Newbery Honor-winning author Jean Fritz, sheds light on the life of England’s King George III. It begins when he was a bashful boy who blushed easily, goes on to his early days as king, and finally examines his role in the American Revolution - when Americans ceased to think of him as good King George. Fascinating history made accessible for young readers. “The lively text includes plenty of amusing, personality-revealing anecdotes . . .” –Children’s Literature
