From the blurb:
"Cursing the luck that has made him a despised hack in a foreign country, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart - who, contrary to established music history, stayed on in England after his visit in 1764 - is asked to give piano lessons to the young Princess Victoria. It is 1830, and it seems things are looking up for Wolgang, still remarkably spry for his age.
"As soon as the princess makes a most unusual demand of him during her first lesson, however, he is less sure of his good fortune. And things go from bad to dangerous when she becomes Heir Apparent to the throne, and seems destined to be the victim of a tug-of-love bwteen the new King, William IV, and her unwise mother, the Duchess of Kent.
"When the FitzClarences, the King's brood of illegitimate children, enter the fray, and one of the guests at a Windsor reception finds that drinking out of other people's glasses can have fatal consequences, Mr Mozart has to face up to the fact that someone may have designs on his rather delightful new pupil..."

I donated a bag of books to this charity shop today. I'm moving house soon and having a clear-out, I've had these books on my shelf for a while so it's time to find a new home for them.
