Kings In Exile

This book contains Alphonse Daudet’s 1900 work, "Kings In Exile". It provides a satire of power, and was reported at the time to provide thorough edification to any 'good republican' viewing the sins and follies of monarchs in exile - those such as Prince of Axel and the King of Illyria. This masterful novel would make for a worthy addition to any bookshelf, and is a veritable must-have for fans and collectors of Daudet’s work. Alphonse Daudet (1840 - 1897) was a French novelist and father of the famous writers Léon Daudet and Lucien Daudet. Other notable works by this author include: "Letters from my Mill" (1880), "Tartarin of Tarascon" (1896), and "Little Good-For-Nothing" (1885). Many vintage texts such as this are increasingly scarce and expensive, and it is with this in mind that we are republishing this book now, in an affordable, high-quality, modern edition. It comes complete with a specially commissioned biography of the author.
