The Curse of Lecia

It is 1832, and thirteen year old Princess Victoria of Kent has learned she will, one day, become Queen. In August she began a tour of England and Wales ,to get to know her subjects. The Princess has been travelling the land ,shaking hands, smiling and acting with dignity and grace. It is now late October and she is about to visit Pitchford Hall in Shropshire, the home of her favourite "uncle." and Lady Louisa his spirited daughter. The Princess is restless and wants adventure, although her every move is guarded by her mother and governess. However, she hopes to enlist Lady Louisa (who is in disgrace) to help her break the monotony and boredom of her young life. What the Princess discovers in "The Tree With The House In It" profoundly influences her beliefs,and ultimately determines the fortunes of her nation.
