Abbott follows Charles II from his infancy and his mother Queen Henrietta Maria’s flight to his own escape as a young prince, exile in Paris and failed hopes of marriage. The story moves through his defeat, his hiding in the oak tree at Boscobel as a hunted fugitive, and his return to the throne in the Restoration.
