| | Working Dogs Book Store - Royal Charles (Antonia Fraser) |
 | | Charles II, king of the glorious Restoration Period in English history, was a figure of legendary proportions, daring, physically commanding, surviving times of great danger after Cromwell's rule, living in tumultuous times of great scientific discovery, literature and some not-very successful wars against the Dutch. |
 | | While this is by no means an uncritical biography, Fraser argues persuasively that Charles was the master politician of his generation, and she seduces us into cheering on Charles' various attempts, late in his reign, to govern without Parliament. |
 | | Royal Charles is a delight to read and Fraser makes reading history enjoyable. |
