To most English people George III was the king that went mad, to most Americans he is the king stigmatized in the Declaration of Independence as 'unfit to be the ruler of a free people'. In more recent years he has been depicted as 'Farmer George' or 'Mr. King', an absurd figure pottering about Windsor. In this absorbing book Christopher Hibbert reassesses a remarkable man who was widely loved by his subjects, a man of courage and sensibility and a generous patron of scientists, musicians, authors and artists.
