Inhaltsangabe

To the English, George III is the King who went mad; to Americans he is the King stigmatised in the Declaration of Independence as 'unfit to be the ruler of a free people'. For all his eccentricities, George was a man of wide sympathies and intelligence, capable of flashes of wit and irony who greatly enhanced the reputation of the British Monarchy in the 50 years of his reign until, suffering from a metabolic disorder, he lost his reason and disappeared into a world of strange imaginings. 'In this elegantly written and cleverly constructed book, Hibbert brilliantly succeeds in fleshing out the bones of popular myth by giving us an intriguing portrait of George III the man.' - The Independent on Sunday
