So begins the unforgettable story of Charlotte Bill, who would care for a generation of royals as their parents never could.

LaLa knows only that these children, and the four who swiftly follow, need her steadfast loyalty and unconditional affection.

LOVE LOVE LOVE
I fell in love with Nicola Cornick after reading “The Phantom Tree” (make sure to add that to your wish list!) and this book is just as wonderful. Nicola has a great talent in weaving the present with the past in a seamless beautiful story tied with a Tudor-esq bow.
