Summary

"Farmer George, Volume 1" by Lewis Melville is a historical exploration that aims to show the true character of King George III by focusing on his private life rather than his political actions. The book starts with the lineage of King George III, starting with Frederick, Prince of Wales. The story tells of the difficult situation between Frederick and his parents, including court drama, money problems, and the demands of royal life; it shows the young George III's early struggles and the impact of his family and teachers. The author creates a complete view of the royal family's relationships, setting the scene for George III's rise to power, using a style that is both educational and analytical.
