Product Description

Review
"* "Wonderful characters, elegant, witty writing, perfect period detail, and rapturously romantic. Georgette Heyer achieves what the rest of us only aspire to." - Katie Fforde * "My favourite historical novelist - stylish, romantic, sharp, and witty. Her sense of period is superb, her heroines are enterprising, and her heroes dashing. I owe her many happy hours." - Margaret Drabble * "A writer of great wit and style - I've read her books to ragged shreds." - Kate Fenton, Daily Telegraph * "Every girl, whatever her age, needs her own complete set of Heyer titles. More than romantic they are witty, elegant, stylish and the best comedies of manners since Jane Austen. Required reading for everyone." - Diane Pearson * "Georgette Heyer is unbeatable" - India Knight"

Product Description
Dispossessed of crown and kingdom, crushed and routed at the grim Battle of Worcester, the young Charles II is forced to flee for his life. Out of the heat of the battle, the outlaw King and his tiny party must journey across Cromwell's England to a Channel port and a ship bound for France and safety. But the king, with his love of adventure, his irrepressible humour and his unmistakable looks, is no easy man to hide.

5.0 out of 5 stars Royal Escape - a gripping story, 8 Jul 2009
I found Royal Escape a splendid story woven round the true historical event of King Charles II of England endeavouring to escape to France. It is a story of great endurance as he and his small band of loyal supporters search for safe houses, hide in ancient oaks, travel for miles on horseback and foot through torrenting rain and blazing sun, bluffing their way through towns and villages full of Roundhead soldiers in the south of England, as they deserately try to reach the coast and find a boat to take him to safety across the Channel. He is clearly a man of great courage, stamina and charm, and much loved by those loyal to him. Everyone who helps him risks death. Does he make it? You will have to read the story to find out.
