Good King Harry brilliantly brings to life one of the most fascinating conflicted monarchs in history: Henry V. Evoking the sights and sounds of fifteenth-century London, acclaimed author Denise Giardina artfully illuminates the double-edged sword of power -- and the momentous events that unfold in the making of a king. Young Harry, Prince of Wales, is considered a weak link in the House of Lancaster. Torn between the sensitivities of his soul and the uncompromising king he must become, Harry ultimately transforms into the accomplished monarch a volatile England so urgently demands. Size: 5 1/4" x 8". 393 pages. Includes reader's guide. Published in 1984, this small volume is in good condition despite its age. There is a small fold of the bottom left corner of the back cover and very slight yellowing of the pages that does not diminish the book's readability.
