In this volume Sir Theodore Cook presents a pageant of the great figures who surrounded the throne of such kings as François Premier and Louis Quatorze. Louis of Orleans at Pierrefonds, the Duke of Guise at Blois, Fouquet at Vaux le Vicomte and Condé at Chantilly—these are typical of the story that the author unfolds, with a grasp so sure that the men and women live again, while their great houses are depicted with a wealth of illustration never before achieved or attempted.
