About this book

Kings and queens at play are the subject of these anecdotes by T. F. Thiselton-Dyer, who looks at the amusements, eccentricities and superstitions of European monarchs. Twenty-three chapters cover royal feasts, dancing monarchs, hobbies, the hunt, masques, disguises, court dwarfs, pets, jokes, fashion, jesters, authors and musicians. His preface limits the book to rulers of the past. Six etched portraits from contemporary engravings are included, among them Elizabeth, Edward I and Louis XIV.
