| Summary | "Farmer George, Volume 1" by Lewis Melville is a historical account written in the early 20th century. The work seeks to portray the character of King George III, primarily focusing on his life outside of the political sphere. Through this exploration, the author looks at the king’s domestic virtues and personal life, shedding light on the complexities of his character, which contrastingly includes both homely simplicity and political scheming. At the start of "Farmer George," the reader is introduced to the lineage of King George III, beginning with his father Frederick, Prince of Wales. The opening chapters detail the tumultuous relationship between Frederick and his parents amidst court intrigues, financial troubles, and the pressures of royal life. As the narrative unfolds, it showcases the early challenges faced by George III in his formative years and the influences of those around him, such as his mother's parenting and the guidance of various tutors who aimed to shape his upbringing. The tone is both informative and critical, painting a well-rounded picture of the dynamics within the royal family and setting the stage for George III's eventual ascendance to the throne.
