A beautifully illustrated picture book set in the magnificent gardens of Versailles. In King Tree, author and illustrator Fiona French captures a charming narrative in which courtiers perform a play before the "Sun King," Louis XIV. French is highly regarded for her sophisticated, artistic style, and this work is a quintessential example of her talent for blending historical themes with evocative, color-rich illustration. Published in 1973, this first edition remains a classic of the era's children's literature. It is a sought-after volume for collectors of Fiona French’s work and enthusiasts of vintage, artistically significant children's picture books. Its depiction of the baroque courtly world makes it a visually striking piece of history, preserving a unique moment in 20th-century children's book design.
