He was flagrantly immoral from his early teens,but at the same time deeply compassionate and devoted to doing good.He was hated by his parents and sisters who nicknamed him 'The Griff'.Yet as the defiant egalitarian in an age of snobbery,he was adored by the common people.Rake and gambler,he was also fond of such English pastimes as gardening,village cricket and amateur theatricals.Fredrick started his extraordinary career by presiding over the glittering court of Hanover at the age of seven as representative of his grand-father,George I.Moving to England at twenty-one he led a life of political and domestic struggle against his hostile father and of amorous adventure almost until his untimely death at the age of forty-four.This new biography is rich in stories of the fantastic antics and eccentricities of royalty,the nobility and politicians,returning to the colourful and permissive 18thC.
