The entertaining biography of Edward VII and his playboy lifestyle, by Stephen Clarke, author of 1000 Years of Annoying the French and A Year in the Merde.
Stephen Clarke lives in Paris, where he divides his time between
writing and not writing.
His Merde novels have been bestsellers all over the world,
including France. His non-fiction books include Talk to the Snail,
an insider's guide to understanding the French; How the French Won
Waterloo (or Think They Did), an amused look at France's continuing
obsession with Napoleon; Dirty Bertie: An English King Made in
France, a biography of Edward VII; and 1000 Years of Annoying the
French, which was a number one bestseller in Britain.
Research for The French Revolution and What Went Wrong took him
deep into French archives in search of the actual words, thoughts
and deeds of the revolutionaries and royalists of 1789. He has now
re-emerged to ask modern Parisians why they have forgotten some of
the true democratic heroes of the period, and opted to idolize
certain maniacs.

"A wicked and witty biography."
*Daily Express*
"A comic history which manages to combine Clarke’s brand of jaunty,
bawdy humour … with being genuinely informative about French
history."
*Spectator*
"Fine historical romp."
