About this Item

"The Flight" by Ruth Stephan. Published in 1956. First Edition. "This distinguised and unusual novel belongs in the highest category of historical fiction. It tells the stroy of Queen Christina of Sweden, the puzzling and tantalizing daugther of the great Gustav Adolf. Living in the atmosphere of militant Lutheranism, Christina nevertheless turned Catholic.
