"Absolutely stupendous . . . This is history as it should be. I can't praise it highly enough. It is stunningly written; I could not put it down. This is the best account of the French Revolution I have ever read." --Alison Weir, author of Henry VII: The King and His Court
"A wonderful book . . . Deborah Cadbury's fascinating account of a child victim of revolutionary brutality is a masterly synthesis of science and narrative history that provides a definitive solution to a celebrated mystery. Authoritative, lucid, and utterly absorbing." --Anne Somerset, author of Elizabeth I
"A first-class read---informative, entertaining, and a great, grand adventure. Most noteworthy." --Margaret George, author of The Autobiography of Henry VIII
"Unputdownable. Deborah Cadbury succeeds in conveying the human tragedy of this story more emotively than any other writer. Added to that, her book has the gripping pace of a thriller. I cannot recommend this too highly." --Maureen Waller, author of 1700: Scenes from London Life
"The Lost King of France is a fascinating and well-told story that reads with great interest and pleasure. My congratulations on a well researched work." --Ian Dunlop, author of Louis XIV
"An absorbing tale, combining sound history and modern science. The restrained description of the sufferings of the little prince from the officious sadism of the revolutionary officials serves only to add poignancy to his story." --John Hardman, author of Louis XVI: The Silent King
