I'm a Janeite so Regency Period is something I vaguely knew. Sometime during visit to Kew Gardens the penny dropped and the timeline clicked in my head. This + Hamilton + #mynameisalexanderhamiltonreadalong
made me want to know more about George III.

All in all good read (giggles at pun) for anyone with interest in history surrounding Jane Austen and/or English royalty. 🤓

Crinoline_Laphroaig This gives you background put George III's life in perspective. Focuses on all the messed up family drama. Not much on politics except for how it relates to the family interaction and succession. 3y
Crinoline_Laphroaig As a woman reading, you will be grateful for not being at the mercy of fathers, brothers, and angry mothers. And VERY thankful for Birth Control. Queen Charlotte was pretty much pregnant for 20 years. 3y
rubyslippersreads This sounds really interesting. 3y

I can‘t see or hear the words #YouSay without thinking of the first lines of King George‘s song You‘ll Be Back in Hamilton. Here are a couple of books about the real king. #AMonthofSongs

OriginalCyn620 Maybe one day I‘ll get to see Hamilton! 5y
MallenNC @OriginalCyn620 It's coming back to DPAC in 2020. I think that's right. 5y
