"At the age of twelve Hesketh Pearson was attracted to Henry of Navarre [1553-1610] in the romances of Dumas and Stanley Weyman, and since then has read innumerable books on the subject. In this work the biographer has extricated the man from the fictional and historical legends that have blurred his real nature, and has clearly displayed his strength his frailty and his abounding humanity" (dustwrapper blurb).
