The Fabulous Nell Gwynne

The lusty rollicking tale of the love affair of King Charles II and Nell Gwynne, the warm-hearted orange girl. Charles, King of England, had an eye for a pretty girl. The moment he saw the brilliant red hair and voluptuous figure of the orange girl, he knew he must possess her. His present mistress, Lady Castlemain - mother of his bastard son - was temporarily firgotten as Charles abandoned himself to the bewitching Nell Gwynne. They loved with all the zest and gusto of those vigorous days - days of Samuel Pepys and visits to the Drury Lane Theatre, the terrifying plague and the Great Fire of London. But Nell knew that she alone could not satisfy the roving and amorous Charles. When blond, blue-eyed Lady Anne Bridget came to court, Nell thought she had lost him - and again with the arrival from France of the luscious and exotic Louise de Querouille. Beautiful Lady Castlemain too, was always present, for Charles never discarded his women but collected them like jewels. But always he came back - back to the warm and passionate arms of Mistress Nell Gwynne
