Book Description
Excerpt from The Queen's Jest and Two Other Plays These scenes are the first Of the series not reproduced or adapted from standard authors. The Queen's Jest will be found useful as a pastoral for girls only, and the other two scenes add to the small number of costume scenes for two girls. All these can be given on the draped stage, but suggestions for scenery have been made in the Costume Edition. The sense of the period represented is important in each scene, and should be thoroughly brought out in the bearing and action of the actors as well as in their costume. A larger programme can be made by playing Peint par Francois Boucher as a curtain raiser; the first act of The Queen's Jest two or more of Mr. Austin Dobson's exquisite Idylls as interludes, and concluding with the second act of The Queen's Jest.

Book Description
A richly imagined, gorgeously written historical novel set in the Stuart court featuring a unique hero: Jeffrey Hudson, a dwarf tasked with spying on the beautiful but vulnerable queen It's 1629, and King Charles I and his French queen Henrietta Maria have reigned in England for less than three years. Young dwarf Jeffrey Hudson is swept away from a village shambles and plunged into the Stuart court when his father sells him to the most hated man in England—the Duke of Buckingham. Buckingham trains Jeffrey to be his spy in the household of Charles' seventeen-year-old bride, hoping to gain intelligence that will help him undermine the vivacious queen's influence with the king. Desperately homesick in a country that hates her for her nationality and Catholic faith, Henrietta Maria surrounds herself with her "Royal Menagerie of Freaks and Curiosities of Nature"—a "collection" consisting of a giant, two other dwarves, a rope dancer, an acrobat/animal trainer and now Jeffrey, who is dubbed "Lord Minimus." Dropped into this family of misfits, Jeffrey must negotiate a labyrinth of court intrigue and his own increasingly divided loyalties. For not even the plotting of the Duke nor the dangers of a tumultuous kingdom can order the heart of a man. Though he is only eighteen inches tall, Jeffrey Hudson's love will reach far beyond his grasp—to the queen he has been sent to destroy. Full of vibrant period detail, The Queen's Dwarf by Ella March Chase is a thrilling and evocative portrait of an intriguing era.
