Love Affairs of the Courts of Europe


Read by LibriVox Volunteers

(4.3 stars; 11 reviews)

The best stories are written by life itself, and that is why Thornton Hall has collected real life love stories in this volume. All the Princes Charming and the Fair Maidens of these stories are historical figures, which have at one time played their roles at one of the many Courts of Europe. Hall's writing style is entertaining and easy to follow, and though he may be guilty of embellishing the stories, the flourishes only add to their charm. - Summary by Carolin (9 hr 5 min)
