Sinossi
To the English, George III is the King who went mad; to Americans he is the King stigmatised in the Declaration of Independence as 'unfit to be the ruler of a free people'. Discredited as a clumsy tyrant and a villain, ridiculed as Farmer George orMr King - the time has come for a re-assessment of this remarkable man. For all his eccentricities, George was a man of wide sympathies and intelligence, a man capable of flashes of wit and irony who greatly enhanced the reputation of the BritishMonarchy in the 50 years of his reign until, suffering from a virulent form of a metabolic disorder, he lost his reason and disappeared into a world of strange imaginings.
