Fritz built the biographical narrative around King George’s need for order and responsibility. Once young George becomes Prince of Wales, he began to mature and decided to be a father to England and to the colonists in America. His actions and reactions toward them leading up to the Declaration of Independence and the subsequent American Revolution demonstrated this as well as he operated England and the royal household. This book is abut King George the III and how he strived to be a great king. He was know as the good king, but when he wanted to raise the taxes in America the American Revolution broke out and he was no longer thought of as the good king to Americans. Needless to say the author has provide a fun way to read and learn about King George III. aucune critique | ajouter une critique

Thoughts and Feelings: My favorite quote from this book is "Anyway, mistakes or not, George the Third was king, and now what? Well, he had to be a good king."
Having begun learning many new things in my life I can relate to King George's trepidation about assuming his title and all the responsibilities that come with it. I wish that any time you wanted to do things well, you just did them well. Unfortunately, sometimes wanting isn't enough, mistakes just have to be made, and sometimes you can believe wholeheartedly about the rightness of a choice only to learn you were wrong. I highly recommend this book.
