Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Royal Women Their History and Romance "History is the essence of innumerable biographies." So says Carlyle. It was the author's purpose when these lectures were written to place before the audience in a new light some of the women who have helped to make up the world's history. No effort was made to prepare such as would be suitable for school-room or study class, in which every date must be absolutely correct, every fact beyond question. These things lie within the province of the text-book. The author takes for granted that the great historic events are known to all, and has therefore endeavored to use history solely to illustrate character. It is the charm of history that no matter how well we may know the facts - the bricks and mortar, as it were, that have builded the historical fabric - we turn with eagerness to any new information which a little research may bring to light, even though it add slightly to our former knowledge. It is the private life of royal personages which interests us. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Even as the girl-wife of the imbecile and brutal Peter she had few rivals in beauty in all Russia. Here is the charming picture she draws Of herself, arrayed for a ball. I put up my hair, which was very long and thick and beautiful, at the back Of my head, and tied it with a white ribbon, en queue a'e Renard. I set one rose with its buds and leaves, exact imitation of nature, in my hair, and another in my corsage. A ruff of very white gauze was about my neck, and I wore cuffs and aprons of the same gauze. My bodice was Of white gros de T ours silk (i had a very good figure at that time), with a petticoat Of the same over a very small hoop.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Royal Lovers and Mistresses: The Romance of Crowned and Uncrowned Kings and Queens of Europe And thus I pondered weak and weary, linking fancy unto fancy until I fell asleep. Something similar to what once befell Coleridge must have happened to me. Coleridge was reading about Kubla Khan and his palace and stately garden, when he fell asleep, and during that sleep he composed not less than three hundred lines. When he awoke his recollection was so vivid that he wrote down the whole of the poem. If I but possessed Cole ridge's genius I would fain write down all I heard and saw in my sleep, but alas my recollection is not as good as Coleridge's, neither am I able to give such a fine de scription of what I saw. I shall relate my vision, but in a very inadequate manner. Here it is. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: * Instant NEW YORK TIMES and USA TODAY bestseller * * GOODREADS CHOICE AWARD WINNER for BEST DEBUT and BEST ROMANCE of 2019 * * BEST BOOK OF THE YEAR* for VOGUE, NPR, VANITY FAIR, and more! * What happens when America's First Son falls in love with the Prince of Wales? When his mother became President, Alex Claremont-Diaz was promptly cast as the American equivalent of a young royal. Handsome, charismatic, genius—his image is pure millennial-marketing gold for the White House. There's only one problem: Alex has a beef with the actual prince, Henry, across the pond. And when the tabloids get hold of a photo involving an Alex-Henry altercation, U.S./British relations take a turn for the worse. Heads of family, state, and other handlers devise a plan for damage control: staging a truce between the two rivals. What at first begins as a fake, Instragramable friendship grows deeper, and more dangerous, than either Alex or Henry could have imagined. Soon Alex finds himself hurtling into a secret romance with a surprisingly unstuffy Henry that could derail the campaign and upend two nations and begs the question: Can love save the world after all? Where do we find the courage, and the power, to be the people we are meant to be? And how can we learn to let our true colors shine through? Casey McQuiston's Red, White & Royal Blue proves: true love isn't always diplomatic. "I took this with me wherever I went and stole every second I had to read! Absorbing, hilarious, tender, sexy—this book had everything I crave. I’m jealous of all the readers out there who still get to experience Red, White & Royal Blue for the first time!" - Christina Lauren, New York Times bestselling author of The Unhoneymooners "Red, White & Royal Blue is outrageously fun. It is romantic, sexy, witty, and thrilling. I loved every second." - Taylor Jenkins Reid, New York Times bestselling author of Daisy Jones & The Six

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: More breathtaking than any fairy tale, here are seven scandalous, seductive centuries of all-for-love royal desire . . . Elegant palaces, dazzling power plays, shimmering jewels, and the grandest of all-or-nothing gambles—nothing can top real-life love among the royalty. Louis XIV defied God and law, permitting his married mistress Madame de Montespan to usurp the role of Queen of France, then secretly wed her successor, Madame de Maintenon. Grigory Potemkin was a worthy equal in Catherine the Great’s bed as well as in Russia’s political arena. Dashing Count Axel von Fersen risked everything to save Marie Antoinette’s life more than once—and may have returned her passion. The unshakable devotion of the beloved late “Queen Mum” helped King George VI triumph over his, and England’s, darkest hours. And the unpretentious, timelessly glamorous—even relatable—union of Prince William and the former Kate Middleton continues to enthrall the world. Full of marvelous tales, unforgettable scandals, and bedazzled nobles who refused to rule their hearts, this delightfully insightful book is what the sweetest royal dreams are made of...
