Synopsis
In his latest work, the author of "A Dove of the East and Other Stories" pens an extraordinarily funny allegory of a most peculiar British royal family--a mocking of contemporary monarchy and yet deeply sympathetic to the individuals caught in its lonely absurdities., A New York Times bestseller by Mark Helprin, author of Winter's Tale , which is now a major motion picture starring Colin Farrell, Jessica Brown Findlay, Russell Crowe, William Hurt, and Jennifer Connelly Mark Helprin's legions of devoted readers cherish his timeless novels and short stories, which are uplifting in their conviction of the goodness and resilience of the human spirit. Freddy and Fredericka --a brilliantly refashioned fairy tale and a magnificently funny farce--only seems like a radical departure of form, for behind the laughter, Helprin speaks of leaps of faith and second chances, courage and the primacy of love.

BACKCOVER: With a pitch-perfect sense of the absurd . . . he has produced a delightful romp of a book.
