Jacob Abbott tells the tragic story of Richard II, the boy king of England who faced the Peasants' Revolt, ruled with a high hand, and was deposed and destroyed. Clear and dramatic, it brings a turbulent medieval reign to life. A fine read for anyone drawn to English kings and the drama of the throne.
