*** THIS BOOK IS MISSING, PLEASE DO NOT ORDER YET *** Did belong to a library before but book and wrapper remained good - Published by Macmillan - 1976 - 175 pages. >>> Ive been collecting Geoffrey Treases novels since I was a kid, and its always a pleasure to find a new one. He is definitely one of the great children's historical writers and should be more widely known. Violet for Bonaparte was written in 1976, and tells the story of an English boy Ben, who travels to Europe in 1814 during a lull in the Napoleonic Wars, with Napoleon himself having been confined to the island of Elba. Curious, Ben and his employer travel to Elba to see Boney with their own eyes, and there Ben meets a pretty and spirited American girl who hero-worships the deposed French emperor. Before they know it, Ben and Fanny are caught up in a dangerous situation as Napoleon escapes Elba and gathers together his army once more. Any book by Geoffrey Trease is very readable and he always manages his plot and the historical period with enviable lightness. (Kate Forsyth on Goodreads) * Historical Fiction * Napoleon *
