Présentation de l'éditeur

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
