After her enormously successful biographical studies of The Sun King, Nancy Mitford now turns to a less familiar but no less fascinating figure,Frederick the Great. She says she has never liked a subject for biography so much, and her enthusiasm for the Prussian king and his world is evident throughout this lively, illuminating and often moving record of the life of a very remarkable man.
