Produktbeschreibung

Royal Kids of the Revolution is the true story of Queen Marie Antoinette and King Louis XVI's four children taking the reader from pre-Revolutionary France and the family's privileged life at the castle of Versailles through the tumultuous years of the French Revolution.

Tragedy after tragedy befalls the family with illness, untimely deaths, kidnappings and devious political schemes and plots to turn the people against the King and Queen. After months of social unrest and mob violence, the family is forced from Versailles and taken prisoner to Paris. An unsuccessful attempt to escape the country puts them in the squalid Temple Prison where the King and Queen will ultimately go to the guillotine leaving the children to suffer years of illness and abuse from the guards. Somehow, they must hold on to the will to survive.

Royal Kids of the revolution tells the unimaginable but true story of the French Revolution from the perspective of the children and weaves it with intense emotion, intrigue, political schemes as well as a connection to American history.
