Thanks everyone for the kind comments on my little historical fantasy.
I started it as a present for my friend Victor to give him even more
reason to love Queen Victoria. I remember reading about the Tower
Princes as a young man and often fantasized about saving them. The
well known painting of the Princes in the Tower showed them as
preternaturally beautiful and poignantly vulnerable. I've always been
a history buff and had always been intrigued by Richard III and the
year of the 3 kings (1483). I rather liked Grant's idea of the telling
of the tale from the point of view of the boys. It would require some
more research, especially into German history, which isn't my strong
point. Yet, it would be fun, I think. Plus I *think* that's what Ronin
wants me to do. He always gives me credit for being nearly as smart as
he is, but he is on an upper floor of the Skyscraper of Brains and I'm
in a sub basement somewhere in the same part of the city...
You know, there was this ten year old French Dauphin named Louis XVII
who met a bad end during the revolution, or did he?
Hmm, I wonder...
