Synopsis
Following a youth of poverty and bitter exile after his father's execution, the ousted king first challenged, then made his magnificent escape from, Cromwell's troops before he was eventually restored to his throne in triumph in 1660. Spanning his life both before and after the Restoration, Antonia Fraser's lively and fascinating biography captures all the vitality of the man and the expansiveness of the age. 'Detailed, sympathetic, and admirably readable' ECONOMIST

Publisher and industry reviews
UK Kirkus review
Unlike the frequent over-glamorous portrayals of this particular monarch, Fraser's King Charles II is a sensitive, highly researched account of the turbulent life of the first heir of England, Scotland and Wales. (Kirkus UK)
