![]() ![]() ![]() Never before has the historical searchlight been turned with such sympathy and acuity on George III and his family. Princesses by Flora Fraser: 9781400096695 : Books In this sumptuous group portrait of the six daughters of Mad King George III, acclaimed biographer Flora Fraser takes us into the heart of. Six handsome, accomplished, extremely well-educated women: Princess Royal, the eldest, constantly at odds with her mother home-loving, family-minded Augusta plump Elizabeth, a gifted amateur artist Mary the bland beauty of the family Sophia, emotional and prone to take refuge in illness and Amelia, 'the most turbulent and tempestuous of all the princesses.' In this sumptuous group portrait, Fraser takes us into the heart of the British Royal family during the tumultuous period of the American and French revolutions. Named after Flora MacDonald (1722-1790) by her historian mother and politician father, Fraser grew up on a Scottish island once inhabited by brothers claiming descent from Charles, the Stuart prince who tried to regain the British throne from George II.

The characters, I'd have to say, are the strong point. Azuma obviously improves throughout the series, and cause the artwork to be a bit inconsistent (as you'll notice with Chiyo-chan's pigtails!). Kiyohiko does a better job with the art in Yotsuba&!, even though the art in Azumanga Daioh is also pretty well done. Since it mostly consists of four-panel strips, the art is not detailed, The humor is random and strange at times, but that makes it all the more funny.Īlthough I can't say I like the art as much in the first volume, the art in Azumanga Daioh is rendered well in most of it. It's plot is nothing heavy, certainly nothing dramatic or romantic, and sometimes it doesn't even make sense. ![]() ![]() I adore slice-of-life manga, which would be the genre that suits Azumanga Daioh best. I'm surprised that there are no reviews written for Azumanga Daioh, although there are many for the anime. ![]() ![]() Seagull is a metaphor to anyone who manifests new ideas and believe in pushing their abilities to their extremities to hit their goals.
