Young dwarf Jeffrey Hudson is swept away from a village shambles and plunged into the Stuart court when his father sells him to the most hated man in England--the Duke of Buckingham. Buckingham trains Jeffrey to be his spy in the household of Charles' seventeen-year-old bride, hoping to gain intelligence that will help him undermine the vivacious queen's influence with the king. Desperately homesick in a country that hates her for her nationality and Catholic faith, Henrietta-Maria surrounds herself with her "Royal Menagerie of Freaks and Curiosities of Nature"--a "collection" consisting of a giant, two other dwarves, a rope dancer, an acrobat/animal trainer and now Jeffrey, who is dubbed "Lord Minimus." Dropped into this family of misfits, Jeffrey must negotiate a labyrinth of court intrigue and his own increasingly divided loyalties. For not even the plotting of the Duke nor the dangers of a tumultuous kingdom can order the heart of a man. Though he is only eighteen inches tall, Jeffrey Hudson's love will reach far beyond his grasp--to the queen he has been sent to destroy. 600 10 $a Hudson, Jeffrey, $d 1619-1681 $v Fiction. 600 00 $a Henrietta Maria, $c Queen, consort of Charles I, King of England, $d 1609-1669 $v Fiction. 600 10 $a Buckingham, George Villiers, $c Duke of, $d 1592-1628 $v Fiction. 600 00 $a Charles $b I, $c King of England, $d 1600-1649 $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Dwarfs $z Great Britain $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Courts and courtiers $v Fiction. 651 0 $a Great Britain $x Kings and rulers $v Fiction. 655 7 $a Historical fiction. $2 gsafd 655 7 $a Biographical fiction. $2 gsafd 941 $a 3 952 $l FXPH314 $d 20220909031719.0 952 $l LAPH975 $d 20211009011746.0 952 $l BOPG851 $d 20181006074045.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=5119CAE88D6A11E3A010237FDAD10320 994 $a C0 $b UIBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
