Charles II by Antonia Fraser
With Antionia Fraser's abridged biography at its core, this book chronicles the life and times of Charles II. It paints a picture of a glorious but troubled Restoration period, which followed Oliver Cromwell's Puritan Commonwealth, presenting the world in which the king moved: the dress, the manners, the morals, the entertainment and the society.
ANTONIA FRASER is the author of many internationally bestselling historical works, including Love and Louis XIV, Marie Antoinette, which was made into a film by Sofia Coppola, The Wives of Henry VIII, Mary Queen of Scots, and Faith and Treason: The Story of the Gunpowder Plot. Her most recent book, Must You Go, is a memoir of her relationship with and marriage to the playwright and actor Harold Pinter. She has received the Wolfson Prize for History, the 2000 Norton Medlicott Medal of Britain's Historical Association, and the Franco-British Society's Enid McLeod Literary Prize. She has been President of English PEN, chairman of the Society of Authors, and chairman of the Crime Writers' Association. She was made a Dame of the British Empire for services to Literature in 2011.
