If I were king Justin H McCarthy Books
This is a fictional story of the real-life Francois Villon, poet and rogue. Set during the reign of Louis XI, in the waning Middle Ages, there is intrigue, treachery, action, and not a little humor. In his cups, our hero gets himself in trouble by airing his unfavorable opinions of the king rather too freely. King Louis happens to be in the tavern in disguise, and Villon is arrested and made Grand Constable of France for a week (to see if he can't do a better job running the kingdom), after which time he is to be executed -- unless a certain seeming-impossibility is achieved.Justin Huntly McCarthy's writing is luminous: lucid yet colorful and elegant -- perfect for the story. McCarthy also wrote the delightful "The O'Flynn". Both books were made into fine films -- "If I Were King" with Ronald Colman, and "The Fighting O'Flynn" with Douglas Fairbanks, Jr. -- but the books are even better, as books so often are.
The Kindle edition is bare-bones (no chapter links), but as this is a free book, offering any complaints would be churlish.
Do yourself a favor and read this wonderful story!

If I were king Justin H McCarthy Books Reviews
This was a great item to be able to acquire. I had wanted to own this title for some time but hadn't located it. Thanks.
Book received did not match photograph, but is entirely acceptable.
This was my first time purchasing anything from an online seller. It was a great experience! The book I love came very quickly and the seller even sent a personal note with my book! It was a great day when I saw it in the mail. Thank you!
This is just a delightful story. The language is almost poetic in its descriptions or people, places, and events. Of course the film version, which has a few differences, is one I love to watch once every year. The language is very eloquent with a gentleness about the tongue.
