Written with vivid detail and a keen sense of period atmosphere, the narrative brings to life the tension, danger, and human drama of one of history's most pivotal royal misadventures. James Barbary masterfully reconstructs the desperate journey — the rattling carriages, the suspicious townsfolk, and the weight of a monarchy on the brink — in a compelling story that is both historically illuminating and irresistibly readable. Illustrated by Anne Marks, the book is ideally suited for younger readers with a passion for history and adventure, presenting the past with immediacy and excitement. A stirring reminder that even kings and queens are subject to the unpredictable tides of history.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48956451029211,"sku":"2026770001525-SECONDHAND","price":12.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/90563f05-3828-466d-98bf-ccdc8ff369b8.png?v=1783501162","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026770001525-secondhand-the-flight-to-varennes","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
