Deborah Cadbury's book on Louis XVII, a mystery solved

A fabulous look at the life and times of the boy King, Louis XVII, who had the title, but none of the glory. He was the centre of a mystery as convoluted as that of Anastacia.
The Lost King of France: A True Story of Revolution, Revenge, and DNA by Deborah Cadbury

New Book of Interest

Effusions of Fancy: Consisting of Annotated Sketches from the Life of Jane Austen in a Style Entirely New by Jane Odiwe This book is available through Amazon UK or from the Jane Odiwe's website - and is a very nice, light read. "Effusions of Fancy" is a new Jane Austen book with a difference, a mixture of letters and watercolour pictures depicting Jane's life through Cassandra's eyes. It is a light hearted portrayal of a youthful Jane Austen, and perhaps a good likeness of the vibrant, charming, smart woman that she was. Certainly the watercolour sketches and paintings depicting events and scenes from the novelist's life are annotated with facts and accompanied by illustrated letters - they are also very much in keeping with the style of painting at the time and so have an extra appeal.

The letters are based on Jane's correspondence with her sister and presented as Cassandra's lost letters. The paintings are varied in scenes but cover most of the year and the events which would have been important to a Georgian/Regency family of the time. They have been inspired by Cassandra's sketches, other contemporary paintings and historical costume. Illustrations include, Jane Austen's birth, childhood scenes, a family wedding, the Austen family, a new portrait inspired by Cassandra's sketch, love and dancing with Tom Lefroy, balls, shopping and social gatherings in Bath and Jane with her mysterious Sidmouth beau.

There are 36 beautifully illustrated pages and the presentation is excellent - soft cover - it makes would make an ideal keeper for Jane austen fans, or gift for anyone interested in the author, the Regency or Georgian eras.
