The Lady Tree (Lady Tree Trilogy #1)

Christie Dickason

4.9/5 (15546 ratings)

Description:A magnificent novel that vividly evokes the atmosphere of a seventeenth century English country estate, and the seething intrigue of Rembrandt's Amsterdam where the population is in the grip of a fever of tulip trading. It is the Summer of 1636. The Lady Tree, the first of the Lady Tree Trilogy, is a 17th century romantic financial thriller. It is also the first (and Private Eye says, the best) English novel about Tulipmania, a real but incredible 17th c. craze for speculating in tulip bulbs. The reader sees this madness, where men staked mansions and sailing ships on a single bulb, through the eyes of John Nightingale, a young English gentleman gardener who is black-mailed into going to the Netherlands to make money for an English trading company. Financial sharp-dealings and lethal corruption, at a time when The Netherlands were a major world power and England was still an emergent island, are intertwined with a love story blooming deliciously back at Hawkridge House in Hampshire - where the delightful, newly-arrived Zeal Beester has taken matters firmly into her small but very capable hands.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
