Description

There was a young King who ought to have been the happiest monarch in the world. He was blessed with everything a mortal could desire. His palace might have been designed by the Divine architect Himself, so perfect was it in all its parts; and it stood amidst gardens with its dependent village at its gates, like a dream of feudal beauty in a story of romance. Notwithstanding his good fortune, the King was oppressed with what he conceived to be a great trouble.

Author

Bessie Hatton (1867–1938) was an English writer, suffragist, and campaigner associated with the women's movement and late Victorian literary culture. Her fiction, including A Christmas Rose and Other Stories and The Village of Youth, combines moral purpose with the charm of period storytelling.
