"When a Cobbler Ruled the King" by Augusta Huiell Seaman is a historical novel written in the early 20th century. The story centers around the intriguing life of Louis XVII of France, a child caught in the turmoil of the French Revolution, and his encounters with ordinary characters like Jean and Yvonne, who navigate the treacherous world of revolutionary Paris. The novel explores themes of loyalty, compassion, and the innocence of childhood amid political chaos. The opening of the novel introduces readers to Jean and Yvonne, two children excitedly seeking a glimpse of the Dauphin, Louis XVII. Set in Paris on the cusp of revolution, their conversation reveals the complexities of their world, where loyalist sentiments conflict with the sweeping tide of republican fervor. As they happen upon the Dauphin while he happily plays in the Tuileries, they form a bond, unaware of the fate that awaits them all. The narrative intertwines the innocence of childhood interaction with the harsh realities of a crumbling monarchy, setting the stage for a drama that reflects on the human condition against the backdrop of historical upheaval.
