Description

Following a youth of poverty and bitter exile after his father's execution, the ousted King Charles 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 biography captured all the vitality of the man and the expansiveness of the age.
