What a Interesting Find!

This is exactly the kind of rare book I love to stumble upon. A unique view of microhistory about a singular event in the historical context of its time. Even though the jacket is torn and full of stickers, the "like new" book pages are in pristine condition, with beautiful color plates of paintings, some of which I have never seen before.

The Prince and the Infanta

This is a superb book. Dr. Glynn Redworth managed to weave the facts of this historical event in a most intriguing style. I had a great deal of difficulty putting this book down. Indeed, if all history were written in this manner it would make reading it far more interesting. I'm looking forward to his next book. Brilliant!
