Description
The Young Pretender by Michael Arditti At just thirteen years old, William Henry West Betty became one of the most famous people in Georgian Britain. He played leading roles in theatres across the country, including Romeo, Macbeth and Richard III, earning him both adoration and scandal. As his star rose, so did the pressures that came with it. But as rivals turned on him and scandal engulfed him, Betty's meteoric rise was followed by a fall just as swift. Years later, at twenty-one, he attempts to relaunch his career, forced to confront the painful truths behind his boyhood triumphs. This book offers a fascinating glimpse into the life of one of Britain's most infamous child stars, and the difficult choices that come with fame.
