Title: Likeable George
Product review: Mr. Jefferson gave HRH George III quite a scolding in the Declaration of Independence, but one can't come away from Hibbert's biography without warming to the man. The book is a good choice for the reader seeking familiarization with George III's life; some chapters, which deal with family matters and political episodes, are only 4-5 pages long. Particularly interesting are the glimpses one gets of everyday life - "terracing" (evening walks during the summer) by the Royal Family, the King's pleasure in interactions with common folks, suggestions of a sincere Christian faith, and pithy (sometimes snide) remarks by or about one person or the other. One feels sympathy while reading about the mental illness that claimed his later years. 18th century/American Revolution enthusiasts will enjoy this fuller picture of the "other George" across the pond.
