Thoroughly sound… extremely readable. - Times Literary SupplementWhile the story rattles along it is also built on sound and scholarly foundations… a sumptuous and splendid tribute to a dynasty and to a country which has never ceased to attract the British. - History TodayA tremendous story, full of delight as well as the requisite horrors … unreservedly to be recommended. - Oxford MailAbout The Author
