Book Description
The story of a merry maid in the days of the Merry Monarch - a period rich indeed in material for the novelist's pen, a period of licence and liveliness, of folly and frivolity such as England as never known before or since.
From a humble home in the heart of rural England, Glorianna runs away to seek her fortune in London Town with nothing more substantial to depend upon than her pretty face and strange red hair. These assets take her, through many adventures, to the court of Whitehall, the most licentious and picturesque of all Royal pageants, doomed for its sins and extravagances to call forth retribution in the shape of the Plague and the Great Fire.
A reader has said of this story: "the author has certainly caught the spirit of the period she portrays and passed it on to the readers, so that the book has tremendous vitality, verve and force."
