Publisher's Synopsis
The Prince and the Page is a classic historical fiction novel written by Charlotte M. Yonge. The story follows the life of two boys, Prince Maurice and Richard, who are switched at birth and grow up in very different worlds. Prince Maurice is raised as a prince, while Richard is raised as a page in the castle. As they grow older, they become aware of their true identities and must navigate the complexities of court life and their newfound positions. The novel explores themes of identity, loyalty, and the power of love. It is a timeless tale that will appeal to readers of all ages who enjoy historical fiction and stories of adventure and romance.Yet what a glorious sight must it not have been when it was fresh from the hands of the builder, the creamy stone clear and sharp at every angle, and each moulding and flower true and perfect as the chisel had newly left it. The deep archway of the west front opened in stately magnificence, and yet with a light loftiness hitherto unknown in England, and somewhat approaching to the style in which the great French cathedrals were then rising.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
