Napoleon and Betsy Balcombe
A delightful drama from Radio 4.
In 1815, a young English girl, Betsy Balcombe, is living with her family on the
island of St Helena . Her life is about to change, as she meets the most
dramatic, glamorous and sinister figure of the age. Julia Blackburn's Betsy and
Napoleon is a true story based on contemporary accounts.

I thought you might like to know that Betsy Balcombe's memoirs have recently been published by Ravenhall Books (www.ravenhallbooks.com) as TO BEFRIEND AN EMPEROR. It is a great read!
