About book The Prince And The Quakeress (1989)

The StoryGeorge III's alleged secret marriage to Hannah Lightfoot, the niece of a Quaker linen-draper.The GoodAn amusing frolic through a highly dubious historical footnote.The BadIt's more the story of George III as he grows from sheltered child to adult capable of assuming his kingly responsibilities than the story of a relationship. Hannah has little personality and disappears halfway through the book, never to be seen or heard from again.Historical AccuracyThis is the big one. Although Plaidy cites several sources,this book struck me as being a fictionalized version of just one: John Lindsey's The Lovely Quaker. The evidence for the marriage is pretty thin, but it's too long to go into here. Suffice it to say that Plaidy uses most of Lindsey's conjectures in her novel.
