**Intact Gift Giving Condition book**

Houses rise and fall, births, marriages and scandals change the course of history and in France, Revolution stalks the land. As the glittering Hanoverian court gives birth to the British Georgian era, a golden age of royalty dawns in Europe. Peep behind the shutters of the opulent court of the doomed Bourbons, the absolutist powerhouse of Romanov Russia and the epoch-defining family whose kings gave their name to the era, the House of Hanover. Behind the pomp and ceremony were men and women born into worlds of immense privilege, yet beneath the powdered wigs and robes of state were real people living lives of romance, tragedy, intrigue and eccentricity.
